[Reader-users] Isn't our reader great?

[James Jolley]

	Hi,

I don't mind using it on menus but if they are large you won't get  
the entire thing in, not to mention that I find it sometimes  
difficult to judge how far to aim it on those as they tend to be in  
reflective plastic in the UK and there are many mistakes.
That's not to say it isn't good at them but it is hit and miss somewhat.
