Hi Terri,
I can read from the braillenote standing. I simply open it up and put the
strap around my neck. then the unit is down around my belly button. What's
so difficult about that?
If I were Jonathan Mosen, I'd be very frustrated now. He's said very
simply, the braillenote PK is not for printing. It simply won't do it. He
also clearly stated that they have another product that will definitely
print, the brailleNote BT and QT. If printing is your main concern, like
Jonathan said, then don't buy the Braillenote PK. I think of the
Braillenote PK as a businessman's pda. It offers portability and
connectivity and this is what a businessman needs. What's so hard to
understand about this?
In addition, as Richard ring pointed out, save your file that you wish to
print in Word and then send it to your computer. this is what I believe
PDI has intended all along.
The Braillenote PK is not designed to print nor emboss.

Dear Terry,
I don't use my embosser as much as I did before I had my BN, but there are
times when it's awkward to stand and read with the BN. If I didn't have an
embosser, I would have to get used to reading with the BN while standing. I
know many people do it, but it isn't as easy as reading sitting down.
Perhaps PDI could design a special stand for the BN. Most music stands are
rickety and they want to tilt or go up and down quite easily.
I think that since the BN PK has USB capabilities, it should have the
ability to print or emboss documents. My printer still wouldn't work with
the PK because it requires software installation.
Fortunately, my embosser has a parallel port so I can still use it with my
BN.
Still, I can't afford to buy a BN PK just to get the extra connectivity and
fortunately I don't need it.
