[Reader-users] FW: question about the stand

[Evelyn Weckerly]

Hi,

You might get the quality, but I think the real issue here appears to 
be trying to do a knock-off. Gabe didn't do the design work or the 
research--both requiring skill and understanding. Of course, I would 
rather see the stand available fore less money. I would remind 
everyone that the KNFB Reader is the first adaptive device I know of 
that has had a price reduction of %25 well within its first year of 
sale and also has had feature and usability improvement. It's been my 
experience that adaptive technology may improve in features and 
usability but the pric e does not drop. That tells me that the NFB is 
interested in getting this reader as available as possible to people. 
I think the company should investigate that guy for patent 
infringement and piracy.
