The more functionality, the more complexity. The more complexity, the higher the risk of error and failure. Anyone who knows anything about technology should understand this fundamental fact. How many people have you ever heard speak favorably of combined printer/copier/scanner/fax devices? There's an excellent reason that people don't tend to favor them and that reason is that when one function fails, the entire unit is almost always rendered useless.

Hi David and list:
So if such a nit can be manufactured that easily and cheaply with all the functionality you outlined without reducing the degree of functionality book port owners already enjoy, what's stopping you?Remember, many want a choice of speech engines as well.
Cheers, Dave
