Okay, if the problem is oil on the fingers, and if alcohol is used to
clean switches, could we not take the alcohol aurally and eliminate the
oil at the source?

        The designer of these devices, Steve Gomas, refers to this
syndrome as, "pizza finger".
        It is a natural result of oils on the fingers, and if it gets
bad enough, you'll  be sending you bookport in for some kind of repair.

        I find that pressing on one side or another works best all the
time.  Also, have you tried wiping them off with one of those alcohol
swabs you can buy for computer equipment?  I use it on my BrailleNote
display and pins, too.

        Never underestimate the power of sincere praise.
