I would like to have a radio in the bookport because then, everything would be all in one saving people having to get separate things.

From Amanda.

It's only a chip, the radio. I kind of wish people didn't bash suggestions,
just because I don't want a feature doesn't mean other people won't use it.
I feel a feature only shouldn't be added if it some how took away from
reading books and playing mp3s if it only adds to the device sure add it.

If it had an AM radio, I'd certainly use it. But it's not a feature I
would request or lobby for.

All I'll say on the subject of the below-mention feature requests is that
they will require a hardware upgrade. I wouldn't send my BP away to be
upgraded, but if there were someday to be a new incarnation of the BP that
included a radio, alternative speech synthesizers, and other upgrades, I
would almost certainly buy one, even though the radio would hardly ever get
used by me. 
Just some thoughts, no bashing intended.

All together now folks, the primary purpose of the Book Port is to read
books, etc, etc, ... Jim, as a newbie to the list, you should now prepare
yourself for an onslaught of replies of this nature.

    Hi:

As a newbie to the list, I will mention a couple of issues which, I'm
sure 
have been discussed before.

1. The addition of a synthesized FM radio such as the BrailleNote now
has.
Other MP3 players such as the IRiver line of players also have this
feature. 
They use the headphone wire as an antenna.

2.  It would sure be nice if the eloquence speech could be offered as an
alternative to DoubleTalk even if it was at an extra cost to the user.

Thanks all over the place gang.
