Alexander,
The paper issue is one of the things that attracts me to this device,
ironically.
I use A5 paper to print my scuba diving logs up on, so always have a good
stack of it in the house. It is only notes and short passages I envisage
using it for, as I have electronic gadgets for anything large and
complicated. The small size and weight of the Jot a Dot is also attractive,
as the Perkins is a heavy old lump to be getting out just for a small list
or note.

Hi Mark,
I've been following this thread, and would like to comment
that, although I haven't used a jot a dot, I've seen one in
use, as my wife, Carol has one and uses it for making notes
in Braille. The only drawback with the jot a dot, in my
opinion at least, is the fact that it doesn't use the same
size of paper as the Perkins, so it's OK if you want to make
short notes or write lists, but if you wanted to write a
Perkins size page of Braille on a jot a dot, I don't think
that would work, as it would take up more than one page of
the size of paper used for the jot a dot.
