Hi Lana and list:
So let me understand what you mean. Your book port provides you a means of getting from one place to another? I know mine gives me plenty to read when I'm in transit, but that's different from what you claimed. What non-profit organisation sells you a means of getting from one place to another? If there is such an entity, I'd bet you a book port they wouldn't offer trande-ins. To quote an old Afhghan proverb, a dog that is born in a stable is not a horse. Am I wrong? I'll grant the new book port cost about as much as a used car, but that's as close a comparison as you can reasonably make. 

Cheers,
Dave

These are our new cars, and the gas and tags and insurance and stuff it
takes to maintain them.  Of course people get trade ins on their old cars,
but still have to pay bundles.

Hi,
Just my two cents on this subject. I actually agree with APH on this.
APH should not have to provide an upgrade path. When a company comes
out with a new PDA, MP3 player, or other small handheld device, they do
not provide an upgrade path. We may not like it, and it may be rather
expensive, but it is a fact of life that devices like this get replaced.
