I am the proud owner of 2 of the original Book Ports. I find them to be well made, easy to use and very accomodating for the ways in which I use them. It is not perfect, but I am pleased to have made their purchase. I am the second owner of each and they came with a very nice leather case. I could name things I would like improved but I have no problem using the BPs just as they are. I feel they are solid, well made and are capable of having me use them for even years to come. BTW, my husband bought me a Stream. Yes I can read nls books on it, but at this point, I have learned the truth I have learned about cars. Don't buy one the first year they are in production. Let the kinks and bugs get worked out before you spend your money. I wanted to send the Stream back, but my husband insisted that I keep it. When I am ready to read...especially read and travel...I reach for my Book Port. Nancy girlyscream@xxxxxxxxxxx
