Hello to the list,
Because the note below was sent from the wife who states that her husband is
a "tech expert", implying that there should be some credibility associated
with her comments, I had to respond.
I am a totally blind individual with no "tech expert" qualifications. Just
a reasonably intelligent and careful blind guy.
I, without sighted assistance and with only a little difficulty, took my bp
apart, removed the belt clip and put it back together. The only difficulty
I had, was lining up the headphone and USB connecters when putting it back
together.
If your BP is no longer on warrantee and you really find the belt clip a
nuisance, it can be removed. Even though it feels from the outside like the
clip is glued or moulded to the main unit, it is not. It is simply held on
by 2 screws.
Because I didn't know exactly how the BP comes apart, it took me probably
about half an hour to take it apart, remove the belt clip and put it back
together.
If you can find a reasonably careful sighted assistant (especially if He
doesn't carry the label "tech expert"), the task can be performed in less
than 15 minutes. You would have to be quite clumsy (or perhaps a "tech
expert") to seriously damage the machine.

Hi All, My sighted husband, who is a tech expert, loked at my bokport and
actually took out the four screws and found that ALL the guts of the
Bookport are attached to the "back" where the belt clip is. He says that
there would be absolutely no way of getting in without seriously harming the
machine. He says that the clip on mine looks as if it is just part of the
moulded back of the machine. He put it back together and it works just
fine. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Nora Sarsons
