I think there is missenterpretation going on here. No one that I saw
criticized the bookport in the slightest. Asking for clarification
or information is not criticism.

I think the problem is the way it was expressed. Wish lists, and
questions are fine, but when their is criticism and challenges as
though APH owed people something or had to answer for their reasons
in why the product was developed a certain way are not appropriate.
A product was marketed and people are free to buy it or not and for
their own reasons. There are no real competitive products on the
market and if one wants to criticize it, they should come up with a
better product. Then they could promote the advantages of their
product over the book port.
I think this list was intended to help book port users, and in that
spirit, it should be polite.
When new betas are released, or when people find problems with their
book port, this list is the place to state them, but not to criticize
the people at APH for their selection of features to put in or leave
out of the book port.
The fine people at APH have added many nice features to the book
port, but it's primary function is to provide expanded access to
reading materials. Their goal is to solve problems that blind people
have. Every device has a primary function and what ever it does
beside that are extras. People don't refuse to buy a cell phone
because it doesn't have their favorite game on it.
