[bookport] Some More Suggestions

Below are several suggestions for the future:
1. Here is a minor issue which pops up all of the time and might be
able to be addressed for a future firmware release. Each time the
Bookport is plugged into the USB port, the Bookport loses its place.
When you unplug the Bookport, the user is placed on the first file in
the root directory and must navigate back to the directory and document
which he/she was reading before. I think it would be nice if when the
Bookport was plugged into the USB port it made a record of the user's
location, and placed the user back in the original location after being
unplugged. Not a big deal, but it would be a bit nicer if this could
happen.
2. How about a list of "recent documents" which would contain the
last several documents a user was reading? Sometimes I'll be reading
several books, magazines, or other texts in parallel. These items might
be in different folders, etc. It would be nice to be able to navigate
to one of these documents quickly. This would also serve as a reminder
of what documents one were in the middle of or what documents has been
recently read. This is similar to the list of recently used files which
often comes up under the File menu in most Windows programs. This might
work along with the first suggestion (i.e., a way for the bookport to go
back to where it was before being connected to the USB).
3. I would still really like to have the ability to move forward
and backward, place marks, etc. in recorded memos. Sometimes these
memos might get long (i.e., when taking a phone message) and one wants
to get quickly to one part of the message. It would be great if these
memos could be treated just as the other files are in the system.
