Something for the future? I don't know.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum, I found another Kindle Touch for $10 at the pawn shop and picked up a new OEM olive green case for $4 on eBay. I kind of like the color, though I would imagine it will show dirt more easily than the black ones. Works great, and I've got Text to Speech! (Sorry for getting off subject.)
Well, I guess it depends on how you define port. It has a connector between the eBook and the case that is electric and has individual pins that can be used for charging.
