[Reader-users] most recent version of the reader is?

[Kevin Jones]

I have to agree with Matt. No other software company I can think of ask 
you to mail in your sd card. With pdas all having a unique serial number 
burned into the rom, there's no reason why a solid registration couldn't 
be developed. I also heard that it would be hard for some users to 
upgrade the card, all you have to do is just copy over some files and 
then stick the card into the reader. Installing a screen reader is 
beyond some users also, but new versions are still downloadable.
