I agree Dave. I carry my BookCourier in a camera pouch with an extra CF card and a spare pair of rechargeable batteries. That way, when my BC conks out on the train I can quickly change batteries and carry on listening. I hope Springer will be using batteries that are widely available and easy to change on the fly.

I am sure this will be music to the ears of the enviromentalists out there but I can think of any number of scenarios where I shall be unable to get to a point where I might charge my unit. The convenience of carrying a spare packet of new batteries far outweighs any advantage that re-chargeables have to offer in my humble opinion. But perhaps I am jumping the gun here? will the re-chargeable batteries be the kind that are available from any high street electrical shop, or will they be the dedicated kind only buyable from a certifyed Book Courier dealer? All the best as ever.
