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

[Dean Wilcox]

They're good examples of use!  Even around the house I find myself 
reading mail with it instead of being stuck next to the scanner.  I 
find it good for those leaflets that come through the mail or free 
with things that are bigger than a standard A4 scanner.  I wasn't 
picking on the reader and I didn't mean to start this big long 
"reader is bad" thread, I just had a problem and posted.  At the time 
I thought my phone had seriously gone wrong but now I think it might 
just be a background/focus issue.
