It would also be nice if the Bookport remained on the file/book being read
after being connected to the PC after a download. Currently, the syncing with
the PC.

.
.OK! IN that case, I'd like to offer a few minor suggestions that would (in
.my opinion) improve this already outstanding product.
.
.Folder reset: I'd like to see a command whereby you could reset all=20
.
.files in a particular folder to the beginning of the file. This would=20
.
.be especially helpful for folders that contain music. I love the fact=20
.
.that mp3's don't automatically reset, since this makes listening to=20
.
.books possible. But having to "rewind" every song is a bit inconvenient=20
.
.where music files are concerned. Being able to do this for all of the=20
.
.files in a folder would be a nice little time-saving feature.
.
.Recording safeguard: I think it might be helpful to set the record=20
.
.button so that it has to be held down until a beep is heard before=20
.
.recording starts. I find that I'm always accidentally starting to=20
.
.record just by bumping the BookPort. I think that having a safeguard=20
.
.against accidental recordings would be very helpful.
.
.Volume: I think it would be good to be able to decrease the volume past=20
.
.the 25 setting. I say this because audio files seem to be awfully loud.=20
.
.I can only listen to them comfortably with headphones that have a=20
.
.built-in volume control.
.
.Punctuation: I think a level between the current "some" and "most"=20
.
.levels would be good. As an example, I think a level that announced=20
.
.quotes and parentheses but not commas or periods would be especially=20
.
.helpful.
.
.Well, that's about it for now. I don't want these suggestions to be=20
.
.taken as heavy criticism. I love my BookPort. It's great to have books
.
.
.and music together on one wonderfully accessible machine. These are=20
.
.just a few things that might be relatively easy to implement which=20
.
.would make the operation smoother, in my opinion.

.Thanks for listening,
