Hi Rob and all,
I downloaded the new update 2.0 and was reading books just fine. yesterday
i got a battery low message. i changed batteries and found that I had no
files in bookport, not even the manual. I am wondering if i should format
my one gig card or get a new one. The manual isn't there. Should i send it
in for repair. I wrote pamela but as of yes have received no answer. I
realize she must be very busy. I am really having bookport withdrawls.
Help.
