Paul. You are absolutely right, and solo as I understand it came about because of the popularity of its P\c based brother. Terry Clafper.

Are we talking about two separate devices as I know there were a number of differnet options one could have when I saw it at Sight Village. regards David Quarmby quarmby@xxxxxxxxxxxx 07736 087019 Inclusive Design means that all products, services, environments etc., should be accessible and usable by the majority of people to the greatest extent without the need for any adaptation or specialist design. ----- Original Message ----- From: David Russell <mailto:david.russell8@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: infotech@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, August 14, 2009 6:13 PM Subject: [infotech] Re: The Eyepal V The KNFB Reader Tony I would not say the Eyepal solo is a book reader, more a short document reader. As far as I know, it has no way of saving a large amount of text. -----Original Message----- From: infotech-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:infotech-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Tony Sweeney Sent: 14 August 2009 17:43 To: infotech@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [infotech] The Eyepal V The KNFB Reader Hi all, Would I be right in my gleaning that The KNFB Reader is really for small document reading such as receipts, menus and the like whilst the Eyepal Solo is good forr reading books? I feel now that it is a reading device for scanning/reading books that I'm after! Conventional scanners are not what I'm after now as I'd have to hack many's a great classic and suchlike to bits to scan their rich pages! I have the Kurzweil for general documents, letters and so on. Something tells me too that the picture resolution from those above named products using a camera would be better.
