[Reader-users] classic

[Janet Coleman]

Well, I did  sort of agree with  what  you say.  I have had my classic for 
less than a year  and personally paid the price  just a few weeks before it 
was lowered by $700.  I wrote an   I was told, and it is true, my KNFB 
Classic  is  just as good as it was before January 28.  As far as I know, it 
does everything that I want it to do, so why wouldn't I continue to be happy 
within.  I was also  told that  there  might be some future upgrades, but 
it wasn't known  at this point   I was happy  before January 28 with the 
life changing  experiences with the KNFB Classic.   I intend to continue to 
be happy with it.  Someday,  I may decide  to look at the new  KNFB reader, 
but maybe, I'll wait  until  the next one comes after.
Janet.
