Hi, Was depend on my Bookport, until I got the Braille Plus, but that isn't for this list! As far as batteries go, I wonder if you put fresh batteries in, if you are using rechargibles, and what type of battery's you are using. I used to listen to podcasts for Itunes on the Book Port, and it didn't use much more batteries than text files do. BTW, for these types of things, I will do Book Port Vid-casts after the Braille Plus ones are done. HTH, Chase Crispin On Mon, 07 Apr 2008 17:43:44 -0400, Andy wrote: >Hi.
