[Reader-users] self introduction

[Gary Wunder]

Terry, let me suggest you center the reader over the address and just raise 
up about 6 inches or so and try taking the picture. This contradicts what I 
told you earlier so the real message is just play a bit until you find what 
works in a given situation.

I think long pressing the enter key takes you back to the top of the text 
for rereading but just to hear the last message is something I do not know 
hot to get the reader to repeat.

Warmest regards, and glad to help with the questions to which I think I know 
the answers.

Gary
