However, as has previously been mentioned, it would be great if the BP's USB connectivity could be enhanced so that it draws power over the cable when connected to the computer. This would get around the problems of batteries going low during the transfer of a large number of MP3 files or several Audible titles at one time. Aman Singer posted information here several months back about a battery pack-type device that can be purchased and that will provide AC capability. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Allen" <wd8ldy@xxxxxxxxxx> To: <bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 8:23 PM Subject: [bookport] Re: BookPort Suggestin and Question Hi Richard and list: I only know portability was one of the main reasons I own one.
