If I understand what you are saying, you are saying have a hot key to enter
another feature just like we currently do for the notetaker. If that is what
you are saying then I think it is a great idea. I would add this suggestion:
Whatever feature you are in when you turn the BookPort off that is what should
come back up when you turn it back on the next time. Then each feature,
including book reading would have a hotkey that would move you to that feature
no matter where you might be when the BookPort is turned on.

: The cool thing about the ebookport is when you wake it up it's either in an
: mp3 file or a book, unless you left it in the help or setup menu. So I think
: no matter how many new functions we add it's main focus will be reading or
: playing mp3s, for those who want a great text reader it will always present
: itself as that, for any feature someone might not need, unless they remember
: the key combo to activate it they wouldn't ever have to see it.
