The first is that you drop the on screen keyboard as input and replace it with one similar to text messaging on a cell phone.

This picture is just a photoshop 2-minute outline to start discussion. Your idea is good, but it is similar to mine - letters are accessed through Sony's "side number pad". Thanks. I do have some more ideas about how to implement a keyboard on Sony 505.

The second is that you wait for the PRS-700. It has a touchscreen with an onscreen keyboard. This might make adaptation easier.

A Kindle would be a better port target as it already has a keyboard for typing phrases.

Or get Iliad. Or play on PC/PocketPC. But I already have Sony PRS-505 and it wasn't an easy way to purchase it in my country. I want Zork playable on my Sony 505.

You might look over the open inkpot group for porting ideas.

Thanks. I will look.
