Hi Bill,
You certainly are allowed your opinion. I must say I have seen no other negative comments lately. At the very beginning, the cardboard was weak, I must agree but the second batch has been made firmer and, we are told, the magnets are stronger. I must say I got some very good scans with it using Text Grabber. That is something I wasn't good enough to do free hand. Of course, if you can scan and recognize free hand every time, you don't need a cardboard box but, in my case, it works very well. If you consider the time that was invested in having the right measurements, the right way to have the box fold so flat and be able to be put together in seconds, the lights in it, the magnets, the transformer, the cost of advertising the product and a small profit, I don't think the price is exaggerated. For all these reasons, having lost mine in a move, I just ordered another one.

All it is basically is a large shoebox with a light included. I could have made myself one of these with a free grocery box, some white paint and a small fluorescent light for under $10. But I personally don't find the utility of this contraption to be worth the trouble. And I should note this; I usually am not "Scroogy" when it comes to assistive technology -- but when I think something is a "rip off" I'll speak my mind. I post this here only to serve as a warning to others to not expect very much when they buy one of these worthless (in my opinion) items. ---- Holland's Boy, Bill - "Always acknowledge a fault.
