[Electronics-talk] K-NFB Reader Mobile

Hello Vince, happy Sunday!

I have the Nokia N82 KNFB Reader.  It can also be a phone.  I don't really use it much, because I do not know how to use it.  It is in mint condition.  I prefer to use apps on my phone so I do not have to carry too many gadgets around.  Carrying the cayenne F be reader around would mean hauling two phones everywhere you go.  Then I would need spare batteries to charge the phone, since I am a heavy app user.  

In today's society, carrying too many electronics on your person, can pose a safety risk.  Back in the summer, our news reported, a teenager who pulled over on the side of the road to talk to her mother on her iPhone because she was driving, was murdered.  Some nut job who wanted her iPhone, walked up to her vehicle's window and shot her in the head.  So sad and tragic.  Take care and be safe.

Regards,
Gadget Girl Kelly

>> Hello. I got a KNFB Reader as a gift.  The person who purchased it paid well over $600 for it. The unit is just like new, as I do not use it every day. So, I believe they are still selling that reader at a hefty price. Have a good day.
