Let me give you an idea about a means of taking Book Port with you = wherever you go that you may not have thought of. That is to hang it on = the collar of your shirt or blouse. I have been carrying mine like that = for over a year now, and I take it everywhere. The advantage is that you = have access to all the buttons without having to take it out of a pocket, = and it is always right there ready to go. >>> KeeperDog@xxxxxxx Wednesday, October 13, 2004 10:11:53 PM >>> When I got my BookPort, on September 29, I saved all the packing material because I wasn't sure I would like it. In that short time I have read 5 books and downloaded several others. I am surprised at how much I enjoy = it. The only thing on my wish list as far as updates go is a pronunciation dictionary. I am still using my first set of batteries. I can't believe that. I am pretty accident prone so am afraid to carry my BookPort with me when = I leave home. Has anyone found a good case for the BookPort? I saw the one with the external speaker, but I am looking for one with a bit of padding, and I don't need an external speaker. Thanks, Crystal
