Because every suggestion is going to require _at least_ the time of the 
programmers who write the firmware. Whether a feature has been implemented 
on some other device is totally irrelevant to implementing it on the Book 
Port. This is aside from issues such as memory requirements, possible 
hardware changes, etc.

And why would my suggestions make the price higher, if what I am asking has
already been done and implemented in the 1993 braille 'n speaks?
It's not like I'm asking them to make it into a windows ce notetaker. I'm
just asking it to have some more of the functions that the braille 'n speaks
have in them.
