In the Book Courier, there is a key describer feature as you know, and
the manual is in the firmware thus not taking up space on the flash
card. Good idea.

Subject: [bookport] a couple of suggestions I'd like feedback on
Hi all.
I am really getting to know my book port and am amazed at how much more
stable it is and how better the supporting software is than the book
courier's. Particularly, I like the ability to choose the chapter
ranges in daisy books so I can choose which chapters I want to take with
me. I have just a couple of suggestions though which I think would make
the product the no. one for blind people. Firstly, I think the help
file should be abolished and instead be replaced with either a context
sensitive help system depending on what mode you are currently working
in or a key describer function when pressed before another key. I also
believe the whole users guide for the unit should be preloaded in memory
so that it can be accessed by simply holding down the help key. Because
the keypad on the BookPort is quite crowded, I think the context
sensitive or key description function is essential.
Warmest, Ibrahim
