Or, what about both ideas. Probably not possible, but... Would be cool. I.e. can support rechargeable batteries or your standard double A or tripple A batteries, readily available.
That would be neat. William & Pamela wrote:
You go!! I agree %100. I hate being tied to a wall outlet, and trying to read at night and keeping the unit plugged in at the same time, what ahassle.I love the freedom of being able to use batteries that I can pick upanywhere, if I need to. The bookport will be a tough act to follow.The recording isn't the best, but I can always pick up a digital recorder,if I need it for more extensive use.I wish APH would either start supporting it again, or come out with something comparable. If they do, I hope they don't follow Victor Reader Stream, and other like equipment by having a rechargeable battery that keepsus tied to the outlet.-----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Monica Willyard Sent: Thursday, August 20, 2009 2:28 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: Bookport II? Rick and Gary, very well said. I just got a second Book Port to use as a back-up when my main unit goes. Like others here, I have another device, but ours is an uncomfortable relationship at best. For me, it's the long battery life and the powerful navigation levels that matter most. I don't want a rechargeable gadget that I have to remember to plug in every night. I like to read at night and would find it to be very restricting if I couldn't use my unit because it has to recharge. Road trips are great with a Book Port since you can get batteries for it almost anywhere. I keep an extra pair in my fanny pack all the time. With another device, I'd need to take something along to keep the unit charged. The Book Port is a tough act for anyone tofollow.Monica Willyard "The best way to predict the future is to create it." -- Peter Drucker
