Kurzweil's handheld reader

Ray Kurzweil, who has long pioneered technology for the visually disabled, has announced a highly portable device that combines a 5 megaxpixel camer and a PDA that lets you snap a picture of some text and have it read back to you. This particular piece of the singularity will be available this summer.

Very cool. [Tags: accessibility ray_kurzweil]

Could you help, I am unable to hold a book, and cannot wear glasses, I can read large print but am unable to hold hardback book, however I can hold a smaller paperback. Do you know of any lighted hand held electronic readers that books can be downloaded and then the print is made a little larger and push a button to turn the page? Can you recommend anything, the Sony Reader looks good, but wondering if you know of any other product. Thank you - Buck
