yes that's absolutely right!! I gotta agree with that one! And if the features I'm asking for have already been done and put into 1993/1992 braille 'n speaks, then why not add them to bookport?

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.

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
