[nabs-l] KNFB Reader

[Antonio M. Guimaraes]

Serena,

The KNFB Phone is exactly that: a phone. Rehab is in the know where it comes 
to the technology, so to deny that the thing is a phone is not a good idea, 
and is deceptive.

>> Hi all.
>> I'm now starting highschool this fall in NYC, and I'm considering several 
>> things to get to be ready for school. I have different ideas, depending 
>> on what I noticed, but one of things I realized is that there are times, 
>> specially towards the start of the year, but it still happens that the 
>> Science or Social Studies teacher is telling us to read out of certain 
>> books and we don't have them or its not scanned yet, but we have to do 
>> the classwork for that day.
>> Do you think the KNFB READER would be a good idea to get?
>>
>> The other thing too is that when we go places--restaurants and the like, 
>> the menus have to be read to me. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not against 
>> having things read to me when its absolutely needed, but the thing is, 
>> I'm always thinking - what if I'm by myself? Or with friends? With my 
>> parents its fine, and I'm sure my friends would never say anything, but 
>> if I can do this by myself why not?
>>
>> What do you guys think? Is it worth saving up for a KNFB mobile device?
>>
>> (getting the cell version is would force our family plan out the window 
>> cause we'd have to switch companies)
>>
>> Any feedback is appreciated.

>> Thanks.
