If you already had a Bookport, you would know why we think you should get
one now. The BP isn't just for playing Audible books and MP3's. When you
do buy one, it will change your reading habits. It has mine. I used to be
tied to my computer... with almost 2000 books on it. I still have almost
2000 books, but those books are on flashcards, and I carry them around with
me. I used to read Audible books exclusively on the computer. When I
added an extra account, though, Audible manager would no longer play. It
doesn't matter to me, because I now listen to them exclusively on the
Bookport. It was the best $395.00 I have ever spent for technology.

Why not wait? If I'm going to spend the money, why not wait until the new hardware with its certain changes and improvements is released? If I had to have the Book Port for work, I'd buy it today. As it is, I am quite happy with my iPod Shuffle and Creative Muvo. As soon as the new Book Port is released, I'll buy it, give the iPod to my wife, and retire or sell the Muvo. I can wait even if the hardware isn't released for a year.

Maybe you know something I don't, and if that's the case, then I apologize. But APH has made no definite statement about a new hardware upgrade, let alone it coming out in the next few months. I would be very surprised if we see it by the first of next year. To me, this seems like deciding not to by a car until the 2008 models come out, when a current model would work very well.

Thanks. I've learned a few things since then and may actually resubmit another one some time. I'm looking forward to learning a lot from this list. I plan to wait for the new hardware version of Book Port in the next few months. Thanks for all your help.

Hi Jamie and list:
You've described the reverse channel issue very well, and yes, both the Book port and book courier have it.
The earbuds can be worn either way, so if you found things aren't right, just switch them around.
You are the guy who did a very nice job on the DS2 review on the Blindcooltech podcast. Thanks for providing that.
