But if you want all these things implemented, the price of the Book Port
might, probably would, go up. So you're turning what to most of us is a
very affordable device into a PDA at a higher price which is not why most
people buy it. They buy it to read books. If you want a scientific
calculator and a grade 2 translator and all that stuff, why not use your
BrailleNote for those things and to also read a book.
