speaking of amazon, it would be cool if the i con could use the new kindle format the kindle is a new e-book reader from amazon they have 90000 titles I know we have bookshare but there may be things the kindle has bookshare doesnt and e-books are cheaper than real books in the store. The kindle and the e-paper from sony are bringing to the sighted what the roadrunner bookport bookcourier and icon have given us for a decade.

Then you could press status 2 and it would tell you the time -- there could be a way of selecting which pieces of status info you wanted per program and you could move them around. Maybe pressing status 1 couldbethe same as now if you just press status, holding down status couldstillbehave as it does now. If you really wanted more than 12 selections you could make the number give you the second list then you could press status number 3 or something.
