Hi Brenden and list: Welcome aboard! Dave here from across the ditch in New Zealand. Several in Australia are already using the book port and you are sure to learn of their experiences here. Hope you enjoy the list. Feel free to ask questions, but also remember that you can read a lot of useful information on the APH web site, including all the documentation about book port firmware and software.

Well I heard about the new book port and decided to join the group because i am really interested in getting one for myself so I could be able to read books on the unit when it arrives in Australia next year.. It would be very handy to carry around and easy to read rather than ahving ot carry bulky books.. I look forward to learning about the new book port.. warm regards, Brenden
