font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Dear Mr. Elkind - in searching for
reviews/possible explanations of how (or how well) the Book Eye works for the
visually impaired patrons, I found your post on a listserv. Do you have
one of these stations - such as the KIC station? Aside from the capacity
to read text and output to MP3, do you know anything about how easily a
visually impaired person can use it? All the literature from DLSG shows
or describes the touch screen input method, cropping, etc - all of which I have
a hard time (as a sighted person) understanding how a blind person can use
independently.</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The folks at DLSG are at ALA and I’m
not, so I’m grabbing at straws to have questions answered. If you
have had experience with the KIC system and visually impaired patrons, could
you give me your opinion or share some of your knowledge? Please ignore
this request if you are too busy.</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;
