Yes, or even if there was a way to influence small or large organizations to contribute for 10 of the Fopydo stands, that would only be 6 contributors, at a cost of $350 eachfor a unit of 10. Surely there must be vendors out there that could resell their stock received as promised by the offer.
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Larry Lumpkin Sent: Friday, October 02, 2015 9:27 AM To: 'Kurzweil National Federation of the Blind Reader user list'; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: only 6 days to go for the fopydo kickstarter fund Hi folks. We are rapidly loosing our chance to have a book-reading attachment for the Fopydo stand for the blind. The developer took the time and made the effort to offer a modified version of his stand that we can use and he has the book-reader attachment ready to go. He needs our help. He is just a working man like many of are or were and has spent some of his own resources to bring us the stand and I think we owe him some support in helping him to bring his book-reading attachment to market. He has just 6 more days to raise the $4.000 he needs to begin production and only 48 backers so far. If a hundred more people contributed $20, he would be very close to his goal. My wife and I are retired on fixed incomes and we contributed $50 so I don’t think $20 is asking too much. I apologize if some think this is inappropriate but, since many of us have ocr software on our I devices, a book-reading attachment to an already very good stand would be very useful to us. I’m pasting the developer’s description and link to the kickstarter project 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. Here is the link to the kickstarter page: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/384725316/book-reading-aid Thank you!
