Hi Bill and list:
I think the book port should solve the problems you've found with the Ipod.
I've used my book port with Audible material very satisfactorily. The only
thing to be aware of is you won't get the suggested battery life if you use the
book port primarily for Audible. This is mentioned in the manual which you can
read on the APH web site. You may improve battery life by using Lithium
rechargeable batteries if you want. But again, there is a tradeoff. Remember
that the battery gage will not be accurate if you use rechargeable batteries.
This is also mentioned in the book port manual.
The book port is great. I only wish Audible weren't so restrictive with
availability of material to international customers. But no one can win them
all anyway, can they?
Cheers,
Dave

Subject: [bookport] New to list with a question
Hi all
I am new to this list and look forwardto being a part of the group. I do
have two questions, but first let me say that my main, though not exclusive,
interest in using a digital book player is to read books such as those from
Audible.com. I am currently using the free IPod Shuffle that came with my
subscription and find it less than satisfactory. So, I am looking into the
Book Port or the Book Courier or maybe even a unit I've not heard of yet. Here
are my two questions:
First, why did you choose your Book Port over the Book Courier or other
player you might have investigated?
Second, Are there any significant issues with the unit that you feel should
corrected?
Any other comments will be much appreciated. Thanks for your help.
BILL
