Hi All, Some interesting info I came across on another list re K-NFB mobile reader.I think that it would be great for short docs, bills and suchlike you might encounter along the way but I would say not really for books.
Off now for a stroll or should that be a slide! Be careful out there! Cheers Tony.All -- Please see the notice below which announces a new release of the Mobile Reader software. This release is limited to adding support for several additional Nokia phones and to allow use of a trial license for a 14 day free evaluation period. This release does not include other new features, such as color recognition and glare detection, which have been discussed and are still being developed. Please note that installation of the release announced below is not considered necessary to replace version 6.1.11 since new functionality for the Mobile Reader itself is not being added.
NOTICE OF NEW SUPPORTED PHONES AND TRIAL VERSION NOW AVAILABLEThis notice is being distributed to announce two important developments intended to make K-NFB Reading Technology's Mobile Reader products more widely available throughout the United States and around the world. These changes have also required a new release, version 6.3.1, of the Mobile Reader software now available for download at knfbreader.com.
Please note that this release does not contain new features or functionality aside from supporting additional phones and allowing the software to operate for a time-limited trial period. Therefore, installation of this version is not considered necessary for current users.
NEW SUPPORTED PHONESThe phones now supported with the initial release of version 6.3.1 are the Nokia E71 (best used with the kReader Mobile), N79, N82, N85, N86, N95 8 GB, N95 North American model, and the Nokia 6220 Classic. Please note that changes in phone models and availability must be expected. However, phones which become unavailable from suppliers will continue to be supported for use with the Mobile Reader software when changes are made to support newer phones and models which become available. This applies at present to the N82 and the 6220 Classic. For more information on each of these devices please visit our supported phones web page at

Please check back periodically to keep up to date as more phones are added to the list. Checking with various suppliers for availability and price is recommended.
TRIAL VERSIONWe have been asked to create a means for trying out either the kReader Mobile or the knfbReader Mobile before making a purchasing decision, which is now possible with version 6.3.1. The trial is a full version of the kReader Mobile or the knfbReader Mobile, whichever is chosen, but the activation period is limited to 14 days. The procedures used to install and activate the trial version are identical to the purchased product, but a special trial license must be obtained from an authorized Mobile Reader dealer
