Which was cool but made it a little bulky/heavy. I don't mind the on-screen "keyboard" and the tablet apps will recognize speech. It's great for travel. I have many books downloaded so I don't have to carry around dead trees, and we can communicate via email/Facebook and check travel arrangements (flights/hotels/restaurants) anywhere we have wi-fi. Our latest go-to app is AirB&B. We rarely stay in hotels on our travels if we can help it!
