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

[David]

Wait a minute.  I remember something about polarizers on the 
Reader Classic.  Do you have to install them manually, or are 
they already on it.  Reason i ask is that I don't remember what I 
did with them if you do install them yourself.  What are they 
like, and if I can't find mine somehow, can I purchase 
replacements?

phone.
