I'm really sorry to hear about the Kindle! T_T It IS an excuse to upgrade, but man, ouch. (*as one who has been in a similar situation*)
I use the Shift key for a LOT, and it would have to be a sentence or so of letters before I use the Caps Lock key. (I _do_ use the Caps Lock key for tax forms, simply because typos are easier to catch in caps lock.) I think that keyboarding is important. I don't care as much about how you type (I don't use my whole hands, apparently, just three fingers on each hand, with the thumbs on the space bar and the little fingers used for Shift and such.) Speed, however, is important. If you can't type to keep up with your thoughts, it's going to be hard to keep up with a professor going on at full speed, for starters. (Sadly, I am much hampered by typos unless I am looking at the keyboard.)
