[Reader-users] Is it really necessary to have portraitorrientation?

[james gashel]

Hi Terry:

The Reader reads its way around the picgtures on a page just great.  If
there is a text label, it will most likely read it.  

Pictures don't seem to throw it off.  

Thanks, J. G.

Are you saying it will not take a picture as blank text and read what is
around the picture!
You would think it would.

Hi Jim,

Very interesting to read your message. I only ever use it in really critical
situations and try to aim for 50 or more percent. Like I said in our oflist
message, magazines are useless with the field of view because it never takes
into account pictures and things like that. Let's hope the next update can
add more info to that report.

All the best

-James-
