Hello,

I wanted to forward this out to everyone because it could be a pretty good savings, but I haven't verified it yet.

> Just a heads up, I just saw on another group e-mail that the KNFB Reader App is now $49.99, it was originally $99.00.  I verified it, I don't know how long it will be this low so if you are interested now may be the time.  This is an iPhone app.

> I also wanted to share this today, I am putting it in my weekly Office Update and thought it would be great to help spread the word... It is a free app for now, I hear it's funded through September.  I don't know who owns or created this app, but it sounds like it could be very useful.  It would be great if blind users gave it a shot in support of the effort.  I loaded the app today, it has over 8000 blind users, over 99,000 volunteers, and has assisted in over 21,000 requests so far.  Pretty cool.

> Load the App in the Apple App Store (search Be My Eyes to find it), I did, it’s free for now.  I hope it is successful.
