That’s just in my area, so imagine how many of these at-risk people there are in the country and how many of them could be missing at any given time. GTX has developed [...]

I just posted a review of the new PRS-T1 Reader Wi-Fi ebook reader from Sony, and I mentioned that you have to have a light to read in dim or dark rooms. That’s the nature of eInk screens – they have no backlighting, so you’ll need an external light of some sort. I’ve had lighted [...]

Now, the mounting bracket is made of clear acrylic so it almost disappears from view when the shelf is removed (see the bottom picture). Good news for apartment dwellers who can’t drive screws [...]
