[Reader-users] reader kudos

[Jim Barbour]

Are you really saying that you plan to read all your mortgage
paperwork on the reader?  wow!  that seems like a lot.

when I did my mortgage in April, I used a human reader (I actually had
the escrow company provide one), who would have read everything.
However, I had her skip large sections of text, which would have been
much harder to do with the reader.
