Speaking of taking notes, I have not tried this, and don't figure it
will ever be the primary use for the unit, but, although I definitely
understood the top row of keys, I have some confusion about the next two
rows, I know there are two space bars and arrow and enter keys but where
exactly are they? I found reading the appendices in the back of the
manual seemed to confuse me even more, not hard to do late at night
after a long week.

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.
