Hi Darrell. I do not disagree with you, but before they go down other non
book (if you will) related paths, I want to see the resources used to
increase reading ability with increased file type capabilities.
I hope you will like your BookPort, it is in my opinion, one of the most
revolutionary, affordable reading tools I've had in a long time.
Admittedly, I don't use it for much more than audible books, but I love
reading audible books so I guess it's all relative. However, I would whole
heartedly support and encourage the management of additional file types as
previously mentioned.
Happy New Years to all!
