Another wonderful thing to do, which I used to do with the RoadRunner, = is while reading with the BookPort, scan books. Then, when they are all = cleaned up and saved, you can transfer them to the BookPort and the = whole great cycle begins all over again! Rich, I know you can attest to this. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Richard Ring Sent: Friday, October 22, 2004 4:35 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: Saving BP Settings So you see, the Bookport not only keeps you knowledgeable, entertained, but healthy as well! You can't make this stuff up! -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Paul Henrichsen Sent: Friday, October 22, 2004 4:25 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: Saving BP Settings Here, here. I still remember the Christmas that my wife got me my=3D20 roadrunner. I hated doubletalk speech, but with a bit of tweaking, I got it=3D20 set to where I could work with it and that was that. I could read anywhere;=3D20 on the patio, lying in bed, in my rocker recliner. It was great. Then came my bookport which was bought for me again by my wife for = our=3D20 thirty-second wedding anniversary in July and it was even better. It could=3D20 even play mp3 files and eventually audible files. My bp is one of = the=3D20 neatest devices that I own<grin>. My mom suggested reading while exercising on my eliptical. She does = the=3D20 same thing on her treadmill or stationary bike just reading a printed novel=3D20 or magazine. My daughter does the same thing while going to the gym. Sure=3D20 enough, reading with my bookport makes the time pass a bit easier. Now, I=3D20 am hooked on audio books and I walk for 30 minutes a day<grin>.
