I agree wholeheartedly. As I understand it, the “reward” for support at either the $25 or $35 level is you get the product for what it will sell for,then add in $5 for shipping. Nothing is billed to you until the $4000 is met. If he doesn’t get to $4000 by the deadline, nothing happens, and you’re not billed.
So, if you are planning to buy the fopydo stand, this is a way of preordering it, and in so doing, you’re increasing the likelihood that it will become available. Keith From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Larry Lumpkin Sent: Wednesday, September 16, 2015 4:52 PM To: 'Kurzweil National Federation of the Blind Reader user list'; k1...@listserv.kurzweiledu.com; viphone@googlegroups.com; bksvol-disc...@freelists.org Subject: appeal for the fopydo book-reader kickstart Many of us have I devices and knfb reader or some other OCR package and would like a stand as a platform for our phones to shoot from. I posted earlier concerning the Fopydo book-reading attachment for use with the Fopydo stand and I wanted to mention it again here. The developer has initiated a kickstart project for the purpose of bringing into production a book-reading stand he has developed. He has reached 29 backers and $1480. He needs $4000 by October 8 or the stand won’t come out. The book-reading attachment might not come out at all if the man doesn’t get his $4,000. That to me is reason enough to contribute. He is just a working stiff like we were who took a lot of this on himself. He needs the money to make the first production run. He has been willing to put out a version of his stand for us and I think he deserves our support. I hope he gets it but I’m becoming a little pecimistic that he’ll get it. I think if blind people want something from him, we should be willing to give back something in return. You know, only $25 from a hundred of “us would put him almost over the top. Here is the info Mr. Wardega posted below I designed and manufactured Fopydo Scanning Stand for the Blind and Visually Impaired. I am contacting you because you showed interest in the Fopydo Scanning Stand and I have just launched a kickstarter campaign for the Book Reading Aid that is compatible with the stand. I am asking for your support to gauge if there is interest in manufacturing of this product. Your support will also be a great help with preparations for a production run since my own resources are limited. If you know others who may be interested in this project - please let them know. If you are new to the Kickstarter concept, the Rewards section of the web page lists various pledges that you can make to support the goal of manufacturing this product and making it widely available.
