        The reason, I assume, is because the firmware data is copied from your
flash card to some internal memory during the upgrade, and if that fails
due to a dead battery at a critical point, your Bookport is now a door
stop.  Since I guess you prefer a Bookport, rather than a door stop, making
sure battery levels are  up to snuff before you update firmware is, well,
critical. <smile>
