Ok, Larry is the man and if the man says yes, then yes it is.  Is there
no limit to how good this product can be?

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!
