Hello,
After taking my Bookport on a trip with me over Labor Day weekend, I thought
of a feature that would be extremely useful. If you remember an old DOS
program called "Readit", you'll know exactly where I'm heading. That
program let you mark a block of text--a top and bottom line, and then
allowed you to save that block to a text file--either creating a new one or
appending to an existing one. So if you wanted to remember a URL, phone
number, file name, or what have you, it was a breeze. Now I realize you can
record a memo, but as the material is already in a form that the Bookport
can speak and is a lot smaller as a block of text, this would be a lot
handier. I don't find it easy to re-find these snippets of info when I need
them, especially in large newspaper or email digest files. As far as the
file interface, You could either use a single default file like
"clipboard.txt" , maybe in the "memo" folder or allow Braille-mode input of
a file name. What do the rest of you think?
