Yeah. I suppose so Laz. I was coming at it from someone who is using touch
screen already.

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
