How much does the Notetab Pro cost? Does it retain page breaks? I don't
think anyone volunteering for Bookshare should have to pay for an

By the way, does the HJ Pad in Jaws retain page breaks? I know Word Pad in
Windows doesn't, but what about the HJ Pad for those who use Jaws as their
screen reader?
