Painful to press the zero key for two seconds? Painful is stubbing your toe, or overdrawing your bank account, or getting mugged. Pressing a key for two seconds is light stuff. And if you can't remember what you've placed on two different "drives" well, it would seem that there is a solution to this one as well. I always use my SD card for material that will take up considerable space, and my flash drive for documents and Bookshare books. And since I have a built in card reader on my PC, I pop out the SD card from the Booksense, place it in my card reader, and transfer material. However, if I want to put material on my flash drive, I must attach a USB cable to the Booksense. The fact that I have to employ two different methods to put material on the two different drives reinforces my memory of what is where, and so does the fact that I use these drives for different purposes. Not painful at all! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Raul A.

Hello Tom. I think that based on some of the tech support we've done with the BookSense, this would confuse people. So I highly doubt this will be changed. After all, one can easily press 0 key for 2 seconds. Many thanks.
