a great pity jackie. this is reminiscent of F S when they ditched the original pac mate bns and didn't develop any further upgrades for it despite promising to do so! I guess they won't have many sales of the classic now! clearly customer loyalty counts for nothing with such companies.

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.
