Nook Help and FAQs, eBook Reader, eBook Device - Barnes & Noble

  • No mention of text to speech??? - bastiani on 2009-10-21
  • Directly load & read PDFs
    • I have an iPod touch and a Treo - given my experience with those, the Treo's real keyboard wins hands down. I haven't tried the Kindle's keyboard, though, which is likely not as easy to "thumb" with. - on 2009-11-23
    • Well, I want a nook over the Kindle EXCEPT for the missing keyboard. Who wants to annotate without a keyboard? Also, no mention of text to speech. I'm guessing that means there isn't any.

      For use in schools, I think the lack of a keyboard and MS word doc support is a problem, although being able to read a PDF potentially erases that problem as long as you have software to convert your docs to pdfs.       - on 2009-10-21

  • fee for wirelessly emailing
    • this is a little misleading - yes, there is a fee for wireless access to your document, but you can freely have it converted to kindle format and transfer it using the usb cable - on 2009-10-21

BBC - Schools - Dance Mat Typing - Home

Wacky characters with fun accents take you through tutorials for each letter on the keyboard. There are four levels and four stages at each level. These simply correspond to which letters you have learned.

Not a practice site - this is really a tutorial from start to finish. It would be best used in combination with practice time in between.
