How long do you suggest someone wait? The BP 2 is long over due. I really like the updates too but I'm not going to wait into next year for a BP 2 if there is a very good alternative out there already. I'm very disappointed that the BP 2 was touted as such a great replacement to the original and now it's months past due and on hold for who knows how long. In my humble opinion APH has made a huge mistake in prematurely announcing the BP 2 and wetting everyone's appetites for it and then delaying it. My plans are at this point to buy a stream unless APH gets the BP out pretty soon.

Hi Donna, I would wait for the new Book Port if I were you. I don't know anything about the Victor Stream, but I like the way APH makes software updates continually available free of charge. They are to be commended for such a policy.

Hi All Sorry if I've raised an issue which has been discussed before on the list. I have been off the list for some time I'm afraid and so haven't kept up with topics. Basically, I've heard that there is a new Bookport on the horizon. Where can I find info about this please, and when is it due to hit the market? The reason I'm asking is because of the advent of the Victor Stream which has some really nice features. I can only buy one of these players, and as I love my bookport, and use it every day, I don't want to abandon it for a competing product unless there is very good reason. So, I would like to look at what is being planned for the new bookport before making any decision. If I have posted to the wrong list, or if I have opened a discussion which has been had many times before, I sincerely apologise. It would help me a lot if any replies were copied to me personally as well as being sent to the list, as my receipt of list email seems very unreliable. My email address is donna.slater@xxxxxxxxxx Many thanks for any help.
