I think they discontinued the Reading Edge machines because they were bulky and expensive to maintain. Users seemed to want a PC-based or portable machine rather than a large, freestanding unit. Oddly enough, a couple of companies are making some sort of new machine for reading because they're realizing that there is still a need for a simple, intuitive reading machine for certain parts of the blind community.
