Hi Listers
For those who have been following the various threads on this topic, I have
some further interesting news.
I thought you might like to know that I have today heard from a most reliable
source that K-NFB Reader Classic, which is the model I have, is no longer being
developed. There will be no further software upgrades, and
efforts will concentrate solely on the mobile phone version.
I think this is a dreadful shame, given its huge cost, and an indictment on the
company in failing to recognise the end users who bought it in good faith.
While I am still delighted with my Reader, it is hugely disappointing to know
that it will not be improved upon, and that those connected with the K-NFB
project will now turn their efforts to the mobile phone version. My
understanding is that the current Readers will be sold for £1,300 instead of
the original £2,625.
