Hello everybody, I have had a weird problem with Facebook, all day! I don't know what to do about it. I uninstalled the app, then reinstalled it. I was thinking this would fix the issue. But it did not. For some reason, I am told I have notifications. But when I go to the notifications area,

Hi Gordan, I definitely would disagree with you here. I think many of the KNFB Reader users get very good results freehand on the first try. I can certainly say that as long as I have a desk or table where I can put down the page or printed material I will get a very good result on the first
