[Reader-users] Question about upgrade offer for the Reader

Fri Feb 1 10:19:19 CST 2008

so, I "own" a reader.  If I trade it in, it would cost me $500.00 to 
purchase the phoone, or am I bascially paying $3500 (the price of the 
original reader plus another $500.00 for upgrading)?  I need to know to let 
the Lion's club in my area know due to the fact that they are loaning the 
device to me, with the stipulation that I hand it over too another person if 
they should want to try it out.
