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. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Gary King Sent: Tuesday, March 07, 2006 8:50 AM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: New features that would be AwesomenessCoolness All together now folks, the primary purpose of the Book Port is to read books, etc, etc, ...
