[Reader-users] hello from a newbie

[James Jolley]

Hi,

Good to see you on the list. I have had my reader for the past 4 months and 
have really enjoyed using it. It takes a little time to get to know enough 
about aiming the camera but after that your on your way.

Regarding Mobile Eyes, from what Jim has told us, it's not as good as the 
reader when recognising text and it is certainly less portable.

As to weather or not you should wait for a while, you needent worry about 
that - just go on and purchase now if you can. All the bugs are worked out 
for the present time and there is a marvelous new update due too that will 
offer inverse video support wich will make the product thousands of times 
better than ever before. In other words, it will be able to handle funny 
background colours like white on black instead of the usually epected black 
on white. This will mean you will get more from a page and access to a lot 
more info on packages one would imagine.

Best

-James-
