Hi Eleanor,

This is one of my criticisms of KNFB Reader, and that is there is no 30 day
demo. There really should be considering the cost of it.

I hope Jackie or someone at S and S will pass that on. There is after all,
demos of Talks, and because KNFB is harder to use until you learn how to
align the camera, it is even more important that they should let you have a
demo.

All the best

Steve
