iSilo 4 Android (you would sideload this program onto the Fire) Note iSilo for Android is a $20 license...

That's one of my potential options - thanks for the response.

I feel iSilo may not be the best 'vehicle' in which to use the library I also use in my Windows 'puters though. I know there's a loss of operational overhead with iSilo, so that may be a good reason to NOT use it.

If my netbook had a touch screen, this would all be academic at best, but using the Palm surely spoiled me for using that mechanism.

I like to be able to touch the screen and go, whereas using a mouse or cursor keys is a waste of time and very clumsy I feel. That's why I like the Palm format so much. I just want to stay with that usability factor in the Fire.

When using the library, I need to be able to switch back and forth rapidly and copy/paste compiled material into a notepad of some sort to later print out the data - the Palm allows this very easily in my 'sync-to-desktop'.

Having WIFI on the FIRE will maybe allow me to send those clippings to a networked printer in my home after classes --- right?
