My one, annoying problem is that the spacebar is now stuck in the down
position. So typing is rather unreliable. I've tried spraying compressed
air into it, tugging on it, but nothing works. I really don't want to send
it back, since it's out of warranty by now, so I just borrowed another from
work. I love that it works with every screen reader I can think of, unlike
the NLS EReader I have which doesn't work through Bluetoothpnp on Android,
and the iOS driver isn't complete.
