Oh wow! Sorry to hear about the battery problem. I’m also curious to know what the improvements are that you would like to see. I’m really glad it can be used independently to access whatever you put in there. I wouldn’t see writing an essay on it either. 14 sell display just wouldn’t lend itself to reading an essay for one thing. But I could see it for meeting notes and shopping list etc. Just I wish it had maybe 20 sales. I would pay a bit more for a few more cells. Oh well. Mary
