Hmmm This is a slim wireless reader. Though you do not need to use the audio to listen unless you choose to. You could set the font size to your liking from my understanding and it has large buttons to navagate to the next page. It also suppose to be able to have the memory to go back to the page you left off. This sounds quite interesting and one doesn't need to have a computer to use it.

Note
Just a Note.

As I have been doing some blogging there has been some talk about this device. I would say read some of the reviews to learn more about it.

I just saw this too. Though there wasn't much in review. The good or the bad. So thanks for the link.

In real speak the one male and one female would be alright but it wouldn't be the best of their software from my understanding. And the fonts only being up to 18 point that isn't much for those with low vision that uses magnifiers and the point size maybe up 46 give or take. So they would have to rely on the text to speech. The problem would be much like microsoft Sam and Mary as it wouldn't be the AT&T Real voices.

I wonder if people with learning disabilities if this device would be accessable for their needs as well as those with mobility issues! Any thoughts?
