Here is my feedback on the rubber feet proposal I made a week or so ago.

When I received the Book Port it, of course, did not have anything on =
the
bottom except the belt clip.  It was difficult to enter braille, =
regardless
of how I positioned the unit.  Holding the unit on my lap was difficult
because it would slide around and, on a flat surface, it would rock.  I
purchased some rubber bumpers with adhesive on the back from the local
hardware store.  The rubber bumpers are about 3/8 inch square and just a =
bit
thicker than the belt clip.  I placed one in each corner on the back of =
the
Book Port.  Now all these problems are eliminated.  The rubber feet do =
not
interfere with the belt clip and the unit is much more useable.

I highly recommend trying this approach and if it does not work for you,
just remove the rubber feet, they will come off by inserting the point =
of a
knife between the rubber foot and the plastic case then prying the =
rubber
foot off the unit.  If you do purchase some of these rubber feet, be =
sure to
take the Book Port with you to insure you get the correct size.

Overall, I am very happy with this improvement to the Book Port.

I, too, have the concern about whether rubber feet would interfere with =
the=20
belt clip.

I've found writing with the BP to work well if I simply hold the unit in =
my=20
lap.
