Nobody ever said that APH wouldn't b permitted to use the format and, in fact, *if* there is ever a Book Port II, it *will* accommodate the DTB format. While the message to which I was replying did specifically mention APH, it was simply incorrect. What APH cannot (and will not) do is to accommodate the DTB format on the *current* Book Port and the reason for this is quite simple--the hardware will not handle it. In effect, it would be like demanding that the BP support cassette tapes. -----Original Message----- From: bookport_users-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport_users-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 9:35 AM To: bookport_users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport_users] Re: Political Question I am not an expert of such things, but I think that in the long run it would benifit the LOC to allow people like APH to use their new system.
