Thanks.
This may come in handy, although, it seems it would be faster to record
a memo, except the quality of the playback is more than poor in my
opinion.

Space bars are on the bottom row in the middle. Enter is right key
second row, escape is left. Arrows are between them. Bottom row has
dots 7 at one end and 8 at the other, and goes dot 7, backspace, space,
space, delete, dot 8.

Speaking of taking notes, I have not tried this, and don't figure it
will ever be the primary use for the unit, but, although I definitely
understood the top row of keys, I have some confusion about the next
two rows, I know there are two space bars and arrow and enter keys but
where exactly are they? I found reading the appendices in the back of
the manual seemed to confuse me even more, not hard to do late at night
after a long week.

It has a note taking feature, no reason that a calculator couldn't be
done for little to no cost. I bought my bookport to read with, but
since it can carry my notes file which has all my phone numbers in it,
it is morphing into a personal information manager, which is great
since I can't seem to remember a phone number unless I knew it ten
years ago or dial it half a dozen times a week. A calculator would be
handy once in a while, once in a while I'm given to coming up with
complex problems I'd like to solve without driving myself nuts.

Think of how much more useful the unit could be. I know doubletalk
would probably charge money for the synth option, but it could all
be done in firmware, maybe there could be a special firmware users
would have to pay for if they wanted the synth. The calculator I
think should be more considered, it would hardly take any extra
space nor time to develop at least a simple one; and we all could
use a calculator now and then.

Hi Kevin and list:
Yes, both have been thought of. Neither is justified in the context
of a portable device whose reason for being is to read books. If
you
still need a
USB synthesiser, it is available as the Tripple talk.
Cheers,

those days when you pray, I will listen. 13If you look for me in
earnest, you will find me when you seek me. 14I will be found by you,"
