The problem is, how to get the alcohol into those tiny little mouths on the
tips of the fingers?
Then, if you weren't careful, you might pass it on to the BookPort. Can you
imagine, a DoubleTalk under the influence?

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.
