We know for sure that it'll be about half the thickness of the current BP; that it'll use a rechargeable battery; that it'll have more built-in memory for storage of both reading materials and firmware; and that it'll use the smaller SecureDigital (SD) card rather than the current CompactFlash (CF) card. Also, we know there will not be any kind of trade-in program for owners of the current model. As far as any new file formats, I believe that it's supposed to play the new NLS digital Talking Books. Pamela has said that they're looking at September or thereabouts as the time frame for the great unveiling. ________________________________ From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kasondra Payne Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 8:33 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] I heard something about a new unit I heard something about a new bookport being developed. Maybe, I am just in another world, but I hadn't heard anything about this till recently. Is this just a rumor? I love my BP, and I can't imagine life without it. Kasondra Payne
