If people want a radio, there are lots of small and inexpensive radios
avail.
As for an AC adapter, what I love most about the Bookport is its
portability. I want to be able to move about freely while reading, I
certainly don't need another power cube to worry about.

Subject: [bookport] Any new hardware revision plans?
Hi all. Well, let's see now. Where do I start? I myself would like to
see=20
an a/c adaptor feature added to the book port if it would not add to the
complexity or size of the unit. However, if the good folks at APH find
it=20
technically or practically impossible to add the feature then so be it.
My=20
second set of batteries have lasted much longer than the set included
with=20
the book port because I learned from Pamela Rader that directly opening
a=20
file for transfer to the book port drains the batteries more quickly so
I=20
have not done that anymore.
I myself do not care one way or the other whether a radio is added or
not.=20
I seldom carry a Walkman type player around with a radio built in or a
radio=20
for that matter. Of course, there have been a few times when I wanted a
radio to listen to a program while traveling and didn't have one.
I haven't used enough of the access technology to master use of the
Braille=20
keyboard on the book port so I am a bit lost when I hear references to
chord=20
commands and such like.
I hope my nickel's worth of suggestions will be considered, smile.
Mike=20
