That's the thing. If another unit were to come out, nobody's stopping
anyone from using the current model. It's not as if (correct me if I'm
wrong, APH) some code would be sent out via satellite disabling all
current units.

My only regret is that I love to fall asleep reading a book. I know, it's weird, but we all have our oddities! Perhaps I'll have to use my current Bookport for things like that.

My Nokia cellphone accepts a direct charge, and current cellphone batteries are remarkably robust. I wouldn't mind that sort of battery if replacements were readily available. I think the reason most of us want replaceable batteries has a lot to do with the down time involved, not to mention how frankly difficult it is for us to prepare, package, and ship units which
require service. However, I, too trust APH to do a fine job of figuring out works best for the majority of people.
If a new, thinner unit is eventually marketed, I'd like to see hard plastic buttons which are more or less flush with the unit, rather like many cellphone buttons. To my way of thinking, this would make for tougher devices which would function remarkably well during travel.

If you're thinking about using something similar to what cellphonesuse,bookportwe'll have to have a cradle type gizmo into which we would plug in theor its battery pack. Comparing that situation to the current one, that's
haveadding a nuisance gfactor. Personally I like the present situation. We justto be gentle with replacing batteries. I probably sound like a party pooper
