yvan Grosni:

I think that he's saying that a cheap old PDA with SD slot can be used to edit text viewed on the Reader....think of the PDA as those clunky add-on keyboards and the Reader as the PDA.
Why one would buy another gadget on not simply edit on a PC is beyond me.
Ah! Maybe...No. Was thinking it would be cheaper than a USB card reader, but am pretty sure those are below $40.00. Maybe for MAC/Linux people?

Neil, why would I buy another device to mimic functions that I have, in much more elegant interface, on a PC?
