Adding a calculator as another feature would not diminish its reading
function and would make the Book Port more attractive for many people.
There are many adaptive devices available with a scientific calculator =
but I
cannot find one that has a financial calculator. I would use a =
financial
calculator many times a day and would have purchased a Book Port much =
sooner
if it had one.
