Richard: The current Book Port cannot play NLS because of the old hardware on the unit and because NLS has denied us the right to make the software so that it would be compatible. As far as the new Book Port 2 is concerned, we have run into some issues with the development of one of the parts. Therefore, the Book Port 2 has been put on hold, as far as any release is concerned. We have had to start over in the development of it, so it won't be available for quite some time.

What is the status of the new bookport? Also does anyone think that there is any chance that the old bookport will be approved for download of nls material? Thanks Richard
