This is indeed very disappointing. People invest in technology that isn't quite there because they trust the developer to continually improve the software. Even if they didn't want to continue to develop the hardware plattform they should have agreed to develop the software for it for a reasonable period of time. This is one of the reasons why users get so upset and frustrated! ----- Original Message ----- From: Jackie Cairns To: Access UK Mailing List Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 12:50 PM Subject: [access-uk] K-NFB Reader update Hi Listers For those who have been following the various threads on this topic, I have some further interesting news. I thought you might like to know that I have today heard from a most reliable source that K-NFB Reader Classic, which is the model I have, is no longer being developed. There will be no further software upgrades, and efforts will concentrate solely on the mobile phone version. I think this is a dreadful shame, given its huge cost, and an indictment on the company in failing to recognise the end users who bought it in good faith. While I am still delighted with my Reader, it is hugely disappointing to know that it will not be improved upon, and that those connected with the K-NFB project will now turn their efforts to the mobile phone version. My understanding is that the current Readers will be sold for £1,300 instead of the original £2,625. Jackie Email: cairnsplace@xxxxxxx Skype Name: Cairnsplace
