It has a note taking feature, no reason that a calculator couldn't be
done for little to no cost. I bought my bookport to read with, but
since it can carry my notes file which has all my phone numbers in it,
it is morphing into a personal information manager, which is great
since I can't seem to remember a phone number unless I knew it ten
years ago or dial it half a dozen times a week. A calculator would be
handy once in a while, once in a while I'm given to coming up with
complex problems I'd like to solve without driving myself nuts.
