We've had some discussion about this very topic. You can actually use any
batteries you want, but the battery level check (D+F) won't be terribly
accurate for anything but alkalines. However, with a little use, you can
pretty well get a handle on guesstimating the level based on what the
battery level keystroke reports.

Subject: [bookport] a question about batteries
Hi again listers.
Could someone please tell me how good or bad BookPort's support for
rechargeable NIMH batteries is? On the Book Courier, you have an option to
choose from rechargeable and non rechargeable batteries which would effect
the behaviour of the battery level indicator. I understand this is
something to do with the fact that rechargeable cells have a lesser voltage
than their alkaline counterparts. The difference is negligible, but how
well does it work.
Warmest, Ibrahim
