[Reader-users] Announcing version 3.8.1

[Cindy Handel]

Lisa,

I just opened the unzipped file, highlighted the file and pressed the 
applications key.  Then I arrowed to Send To, pressed enter and selected my 
drive where the SD card was.  It was very easy and took no time at all.

Hi everyone,

I am a new user of the KNFB Reader. I purchased the unit at this year's NFB
convention in Atlanta, Georgia. This is a great technology.
I wanted to let everyone know I did not have any difficulty downloading the
latest firmware once I selected the appropriate version of the configuration
I had.

Now is the challenge to copy the content to a memory card to install
software.

High Dean, Denise, and all:

Please use the link just above my signature to go directly to the 3.8.1
download page.  Once you get to that page, you will need to check the radio
button that indicates which Reader style you have.  Most people have the B
version, which is the first one listed.  People who purchased Readers from
the NFB have the A version, which is listed right below the radio button for
the B version.  If you don't check one of these radio buttons, you won't be
able to download any software.

Please write me back if you are still having difficulty.  Here is the link
to the download page:

Thanks, J. G.

I'm following your procedure and am, like Denise, unable to access the
upgrade.

Good for you, Alco, you proud non-tekkie you!
