Darn Tootin, Laughs! But it is really good. I got mine by having iTunes gift
cards built up when they were on sale like buy a $50 for $40 at Target or
wherever. And then one time it went on sale and I managed to get it for the
actual $40 which someone had actually gifted me in the first place, smile!
I have Openbook which I use about 75% of the time, mostly for reading mail. I
would like to read books with it but right now the pearl that is hooked up is
borrowed and not quite as good as a decent flatbed would be for reading books.
However when out on the go the KNFB is great for reading both television and
computer screens not 100% of the time but very often. I can't tell you how many
times it has saved me while upgrading several machines to Windows 10 and now
the fall update. Also when installing various other apps and this new Win 10
freezes it comes in handy.
And trust me I am not doing a sell on any product because I live on a
shoestring. When I'm done paying for my Florida living expenses which Tampa
area rent has gone through the roof plus all my healthcare and other monthly
living expenses I would rather eat my shoestrings and buy cool apps than buy
healthy grocery choices sometimes, smiles
O I am right there with you I have just been fortunate enough to be in the
right place at the right sale.

Ouch. Thanks. But that's too rich for my blood.

I'm wondering if anyone might know what app would be good for reading TV
screen?
I have Prizmo and Voice and who knows what other app that might work.
I'm just looking for a sure one.
Thanks.
