I'm satisfied with the book port the way it is now, however, when there are no more parts for this one, I'll rely on whatever the NLS has or, if I have the money at the time, then, I might consider buying the later version, whatever that might be at the time. Personally, I wish they had one that didn't necessarily have a notes folder in it. I never use the braille note taker because I'd rather do a memo if I need to take notes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bruce Toews" <dogriver@xxxxxxxx>

The battery thing seems to be the biggest hang-up for people. What interests me is that a lot of the people who are very concerned about the batteries are the same people who wanted the unit to be as small as it possibly could be. Unfortunately, to those people, you can't have it both ways. If you make the unit too small to hold standard batteries, one of the side effects of this reduction in size is, oddly, that it can't hold standard batteries.

But I can understand the thinking for some of the changes coming and BP2 will be great! Personally I really like using the double A batteries. When I use them only for reading text, I can get 90 hours out of them! And I really don't mind Double talk. I thought I would at first. But like Larry said, you get too interested in what you're reading to care about it. And Double talk does have some not too bad inflection.
