One problem is, the quality of the mic isn't that good. I am not
criticizing. I didn't buy the BPbecause of its ability to record memos.

My sentiments exactly. I am a new user and I am disappointed inthe quality of notesand memo recording. The electronidc induction noise spoils the good sensitivity of the mike. Would a mike socket avoid the noises?

Since the Book Port can already be used for listening to books in various formats and taking notes, why not make it into an even more useful aid for students by including a better recorder for recording lectures and meetings. The internal microphone probably wouldn't cut it though for recording a lecture, and so a jack could be added to plug in a directional microphone.
I know it might make it more expensive, but maybe it could be Book Port Deluxe. Actually, my iRiver MP3 player has a pretty nice sounding recorder, and it didn't cost as much as the Book Port. It can also save directly to MP3 to save space.

OK, Here is my new feature for today. I am sure it has been mentioned before, but I have some different observations after playing with a number of MP3 players that have very good sound recorders in them. So, you've probably guessed by now that I want a recorder that is a bit better than the one we already have in the book port. Yes, the book port is a reading device, just as the other commercial MP3 players are marketed as MP3 players, but many of them have recorders. This seems to me to be just as vital or even more so for the book port. If people are reading a book, it would be nice to quickly be able to record a memo that might relate to what they are reading. Now, my bias is for a very good quality recorder. I guess that comes from my running a recording studio. But, how good it has to be will be a factor of price, what others want, and a few other things I can't possibly know. The bottom line is that I would like the quality of the voice recorder in the book port to be somewhat better than it is now.
Thanks. Neal
