Since I am using Lithium batteries, I can't accurately tell if there is any
battery drainage or not. The indicator still says: "100 per cent." The
page number setting was wrong, though. I have a new flash card in the BP,
and I haven't read any books on it. The page number setting is 246. I
reset it, and I will check to see if it changes with the Bookport idle. It
shouldn't, I know, but stranger things have happened.

Jeremiah 29:11 - 14A
11For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They
are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
12In those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me in earnest,
you will find me when you seek me. 14I will be found by you," says the
LORD...
