There is already a percentage feature in the BookPort. How difficult =
would it be to redesign the BookPort so it had a describer key? I =
remember wishing there was one when I first got my unit, but I got used =
to the layout extremely quickly because it is very logical.

Just give new users a KEY DESCRIBER Key and maybe a "Where Am I" key to
tell what page or in the case of audio per cent of the way you are
through the book.
By the way, five states and the Library of Congress are running a Beta
of downloadable talking books. They are using OVerdrive with WMA format,
so BP may need to expand its available formats.

I could see some validity to this argument were it not for one extremely
noticeable fact. The Bookport has been updated numerous times, both the
software and the firmware; and each and every time, new features have
been added. A pronunciation dictionary would be great, I simply doubt
if the onboard memory could support it. =3D20

James, that's simply not true. You seem to take a statement disagreeing
with something as a shoot down. You seem to think that people who want
to keep the product focused on it's purpose, to read and play files do
not want any new features, which is incorrect.
