[access-uk] Re: Magazines

Anybody have some up-to-date info on this reader?  I downloaded the PDF but 
didn't find out very much.  How much does it cost and how good is it really?  
When spending money you really need some user feedback don't you?  I  gather 
Jacky  is in hospital so obviously can't ask her to send me her review of the  
product off-list.

Could we take something from the freezer and find out what it is, for example, 
or would the fact that it has ice on it damage the camera?

  Ari, do you mean the K-NFB Reader?  It is sold in the UK by Sight and Sound 
  Technology.  Personally I get on well with mine.  When I get my mail and I 
  can't be bothered to turn the PC on to scan it, I just pick up the Reader 
  and scan it that way.  I like it because of its utter portability.  When I 
  can't move in bed with my back problems, I use the Reader a lot, and as I 
  said before, love a newspaper to get stuck in about.  It takes me quite a 
  long time to scan one mind because they are quite large.  So I settle myself 
  at my table and spread it out like a sighted person does.  Then I scan the 
  top half and then work my way down it.  There is a knack of doing that, but 
  it is doable.  It reads certain newspapers better than others, due to their 
  typefaces and print etc, but it can be done, even if it takes a while to 
  achieve it.

  One thing it reads very well are the names and details on medicine packets. 
  I have found it so useful for those situations when tablet packaging feels 
  similar to others, and the Reader has really got me out of a potential 
  difficulty if my son hasn't been in to help me.

  I've written a comprehensive review of this gadget if you want me to send it 
  to you off list.

  Jackie
