I think it was Larry (it was someone from APH, anyhow) who made the strong 
point that when replacing batteries in the BP, one should first place the 
base (negative contact) of the battery into position, then simply press down 
on the top (positive) end of the battery to get it into place. To remove 
batteries, just pull up on the ribbon, which should _always_ be located 
underneath the batteries when they're in place.

I've not had my bookport that long - about half a year - but this whole
battery contact issue seems awfully strange.  I've replaced them once 
without a
problem.
    I have a 10 year old Talkman that uses two AA batteries  (I use
rechargeable) that has never failed me in all these years (I still do 
listen to some
cassette books).   I understand that the circuitry for  the Talkman is no 
doubt
a lot simpler than the entirely solid-state works of the  Bookport but,
honestly, I've never had that problem is digital cameras or any  other 
battery
powered device.
