Hi, everybody. I received a bookport for Christmas and joined the list
yesterday. I have to say that the bookport has revolutionized the way I
read immensely. As for the FM radio feature, I have mixed feelings. First
of all, how much would adding a radio to the unit raise the price, and how
difficult will it be to upgrade all the bookports that people own? On the
other hand, having a built-in radio would be convenient and would add
another handy feature to the many the bookport already has. The radio also
would not use up very much battery power. So I guess my only concern is how
much the price of the bookport will increase by adding the radio.
