Now that you mention it, I haven't seen springs on an electronic device
in many years. Why is this? Is there a reliability problem with
springs?
Personally, I've never had a spring break, and much prefer springs since
they definitely establish the battery orientation. I am always afraid
that I'll put the batteries in the wrong way with clips and am very
careful to keep the old batteries in the original orientation as I take
them out of the Bookport and replace them with new batteries. In this
way, I have a template to follow.
Maybe someday an electronics guru will figure out a simple sensing
system to automatically figure out which side is which of the batteries
and direct the current accordingly! Now, wouldn't that be a great idea
- Put the batteries in any way you wish!
