This may seem like an odd question to those who have used the
Booklport's note taker more than I, but how do you all access dots 7
and 8 while making notes? By this I mean do you use your pinky
fingers or what? I'm just trying to figure out the best way to go
about this. Thanks in advance.

It took me about ten minutes of typing with the notetaker, and then the feel became very natural for me.

Thanks.
This may come in handy, although, it seems it would be faster to record a memo, except the quality of the playback is more than poor in my opinion.

Space bars are on the bottom row in the middle. Enter is right key second row, escape is left. Arrows are between them. Bottom row has dots 7 at one end and 8 at the other, and goes dot 7, backspace, space, space, delete, dot 8.

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

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.

Think of how much more useful the unit could be. I know doubletalk would probably charge money for the synth option, but it could all be done in firmware, maybe there could be a special firmware users would have to pay for if they wanted the synth. The calculator I think should be more considered, it would hardly take any extra space nor time to develop at least a simple one; and we all could use a calculator now and then.

Hi Kevin and list:
Yes, both have been thought of. Neither is justified in the context of a portable device whose reason for being is to read books. If

USB synthesiser, it is available as the Tripple talk.
