anyone can produce and sell anything they want. Anyone can use a computer
if they are propperly prepared and or if the computer is propperly prepared
or almost anyone any way. My point here is that in the us at least many
people won't be able to afford it, in fact, many of the people who will
actually *need* it won't be able to afford it.
It is as much as a computer of course as all things like this are computers,
but the cost just doesn't justify the narrow application. On the scanning
quallity someone raised you'll be happy to note that this is probably pretty
good as most of what happens in analysis and ocr happens in software and the
software has become quite good at it although I still would not want to
depend on it solely as my source if I were attempting to get an education
where points for knowing facts count.

I think it's a computer / scanner / cctv with all the technical complexity
hidden from the user. I agree with george that there are probably a lot of
(probably mostly) elderly persons who don't want to bother learning how to
use a computer, but want to be able to read. This sounds like it would have
a market.
And if it is moderately portable, all the more.
Of course, having a computer, I would never buy it for myself. But I'm glad
someone is producing one.
Take care.
