[Nfbmt] Library

[Rebecca Stewart]

A pocket sized machine that you can read books with?  That sounds like what
I'm looking for.

Hi Ted, 
I can wait longer for the I products to catch up. 
What ever happened to the machine you could read books with. It is small but
can't remember the name. 
I just remember seeing it in action. 
Small enough for a pocket if you wanted to do that.
