[Reader-users] Problem, may be camera related?

[Denise Thompson]

You know what? There are very few things in life that are hastle 
free. I'm a new user of the reader and for the first time in my life, 
I can choose which TV dinner I want to eat without having to set it 
all up ahead of time. I read the directions on a bottle of a new 
product that I've never used before. I read my churches monthly news 
paper for the first time sitting waiting for someone to pick me up 
instead of having to scan it sitting in a specific spot at home near 
my computer. I can read my mail on the go like other people. It isn't 
a perfect product, but it's very liverating in many ways. If it 
requires a little care or maintenance or doesn't operate perfectly 
every time- I'm willing to work with it and appreciate the list when 
folks can share ways to make the experience better for all of us.

I would say if you think it's too much trouble or don't have- or want 
to spend the money, then don't. It's each person's choice to make. 
But unsubscribe from the list.
