[Reader-users] books

[Livio Novi Rodríguez]

Dear David:

I saw your last message and probably misunderstood your words.  So, Are you 
saying that the KNFB is not good for books?  Please give me a better 
explanation, because I am about to purchase my kNFB Reader Mobile (I read a 
lot of books) , when the software is able to read Spanish.  Note that 
although I speek and read English, I live and work in Mexico City, so 
Spanish is my main language.

Please, I wait for your reply the sooner you can, because I have heard great 
things about the reader.  I can't wait to have mine!

Best regards,



Livio Novi.
