[nabs-l] perl reader Vs. KNFB Reader

[Debbie Wunder]

Hi, you do not have to have the reader as your cell phone. It works just 
great only as a readr. The advantage to using it as a cell phone as well, is 
that it is one less piece of equipment you would have to worry. The reader 
also works as a money identifier.
