[Nfb-krafters-korner] FW: KNFB Reader App

[Ramona Walhof]

Jill, Jim Gashel did a couple of demos I heard.  It is very fast, will cost 
99 dollars, and will be available bbefore the end of August, or at least 
that is what is projected. I can't tell you much more than that, but I think 
it will be very popular.
