Hello, The KNFB Reader company, and the other Assistive Technology companies, are set up for selling high-price to small markets. This is their business model.
It can be, and usually is, quite difficult for a company to change its core market strategies and focus. You said you would be willing to pay $100 or $200 "maybe" for the KNFB Reader. KNFB Technologies is use to charging $1000 for their product. In other words, you are asking them for a 90% discount for the product. You are asking them to almost give it away.
