That idea that features are only good if they support reading books is why technology is being held back. If the calculator in no way damages how well the bookport can read a book, and it doesn't tax the current hard/firmware, then thehre's no good reason not to add it. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Allen Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2005 4:00 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: bookport suggestion Hi Kevin and list: I think you are correct. Can you explain how a calculator is needed to read a book? I know an accoutant needs a financial calculator. A carpenter needs a scientific calculator. Heck I use the scientific calculator in the Braille lite quite a bit for conversions because I still think in imperial terms though the world around me is completely metric. But I'm trying to understand how a calculator would improve my ability to read books. What logic is missing? Cheers, Dave
