-- Bookman module? (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=5035)

A lot of people have been discussing the e-text possibilities of the Springboard slot.

Franklin makes the "Bookman" (see http://www.franklin.com/estore/bookcards/), which accepts cartriges that contain things like dictionaries, cookbooks, et cetera. There are a lot of such cartriges, and they've been around a while.

A Springboard cartridge that let the Visor accept Bookman cartridges would be *really* cool. The main thing it would need (apart from the hardware and the ability to read the carts) is the "infrastructure" normally supplied by Bookman devices -- basically, a graphical representation of the standard Bookman navigation buttons.

I think the normally-required text display capabilities of Bookman cartridges are meagre enough that the Visor can meet them.

Check it out, in the big article they posted on wired.com just recently on Visor's performance at InternetWorld, out of the bunch of companies advertising their springboards for the Visor (big turnout), one of them was talking about a module that will hold "10-15 books" - Mesaview is making them. Not much in details, but it looks like they might be fixed in memory. Still, this could be a start.
