While I feel the present system is adequate, it would be convenient to plug
the device into a USB port and have the batteries charge.

: Hi APH and listers:
:
: I know that the BookPort while plugged into the USB port uses a
: certain
:
: amount of power from the batteries. However, it occurs to me that the
: USB
: port can provide all the power needed and it seems odd that the BP
: couldn't take advantage of this instead of draining the batteries for
: this
: function. My Braille display at work runs completely off the USB port
:
: without the need for any other external power source. Could this be
: eventually true of the BP if you ever update the hardware?
:
: Thanks!
