Hi Shane:
If you turn the Book Port 90 degrees, so the headphone jack is to your right,
you would then have 3 rows of 6 keys. The row furthest away from you would be
your 6 braille keys, going from left to right, in the same configuration as a
Perkins. The next row contains Escape, arrow keys and the Enter key. The
bottom row is Backspace, a Dot 7 or Shift key, 2 space keys and Dot 8.
For more fun and adventure, please consult your User's Manual, under Braille
Keyboard or Appendix C.

Hello. I have a question about the bookport's keypad. What keys on
the keypad constitute the braille keyboard?
