Think of someone who has never used a touch screen. How would they
pair a BT keyboard to the tablet? With an OTG cable and USB keyboard
they're up and running.

Hi. Yep. I prefer Bluetooth keyboards also. Not entirely sure why one
would use USB but it's horses for courses I guess. :-) The less wires I
have to tangle with the better for me at least.
As for feedback when going through the lessons, I know what you mean about
the typing one. I thought that lesson should have shown us the keyboard and
allowed us to type something. As for the granularity and sliders, they
still present me with problems and I've been a touch screen user since
2011.

Hi,
Dave in Boston, here; glad to have found you all. I'll likely have many
novice questions. I'm new to the tablet and touch-screen space, and thought
a Fire would be a reasonable, inexpensive way to enter. I'v had access to
some sort of computer or terminal for many years.
Laz, thanks for shipping that Fire so soon after I ordered; the package
arrived before the 'your order has shipped' email notification.
So far, I've done some voice preferences setup, read a few web pages, and
tried the lessons in the user guide. I had the impression that the typing
lesson would present me a keyboard for exercise, it did not. The lesson on
swipe navigation also seemed to give no feedback on how I was doing. I'm
still unable to register the device, owing to my inability to use the
on-screen keyboard; my husband plugged the wifi password in, just so I could
look at a web page or two.
I wonder if Laz would sell enough usb or bluetooth keyboards to make it
worthwhile? I'd prefer the bluetooth option; it would keep the usb
available for power.
Just a thought,
Dave
