[Reader-users] books

[David Evans]

Dear All,

I don't believe that trying to take allot of pictures , very fast, will be 
very practical as using a flat bed scanner.
Your arm is going to get very tired trying to hold that unit still, at the 
right distance, for the amount of time to get the job done.
How are you going to turn the pages and everything and still keep from 
moving the KNFB reader.
You would need some kind of stand for it.

David Evans, NFBF
