Good morning everyone.
Last Saturday afternoon, A person from the knfb technologies, came and
demonstrated the features of the knfb reader. Though it has and shows a lot
of promise for those of us who may want a portible reading device with phone
and gps cababilities,as well as a reading and scanning device, I do feel
that for most of us that are among the population of blind, that the price
is going to be too expensive for the majority of us who might want too
purchase it. Even if one could take out a loan from the state, or get some
other means of financing for it, for most of us who might be fortunate
enough too work, or may be retired from our jobs, or even worse, live on
social security slash, s s i pay rent cable, and internet service, I believe
that the payments per month that these companies would charge would be too
expensive for the average blind person too be able too afford. I myself, am
personally not going too put myself in a financial hole fora device that I
may not use all that much. I don't think its worth that kind of head ache.
Second,if c techand visibility communications are the distributers of this
product,then either knfb technologies, or these companies, are going too
have to make the price come down a lot more if they want or even hope too
sell such a product of this type too the average blind person, in order to
make it affordable for them.
