Of course they shouldn't be free. My point is that I see many suggestions on this list, and I get the impression that those who make them would be the first to complain if they had to pay for the fruit of their requests. The Bookport has some wonderful features and its overall performance is great. I simply think that if we make all of the hardware changes people want, we'll have a device that costs more than the original, and you'll see nothing but endless complaints on this list. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sandy Licht Sent: Wednesday, August 03, 2005 11:24 AM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: TNA UK And why should they be free? New hardware features would be okay, but I am happy with the Bookport I have. I wouldn't spend another four hundred dollars to buy a BP just because it had the latest and greatest bells and whistles on it. If you like the Book Courier better, then... to each his own.
