CAUTION Before you read my very positive review of this wonderful product, you should be aware that for Canadian customers the cost information shown is in error. NO 'import fee' is charged by the Canadian Government on products specifically designed for people who are disabled. All the shipper need do is specify on the customs form that the item enclosed is designed for use by people who are vision impaired; Canada Customs and Border Services may open the parcel to verify that the product being shipped is specifically intended for use by disabled people, but they will N O T charge any import fee. 2nd Update - after charging many times the battery stops working. It is a remvable generic battery but I have not been able to find a source and the supplier doesn't offer replacement batteries on Amazon. So I have now bought a third reading machine only to find that the charging cords on the newest and older machines are not comatible. The manufacturer have changed the size of the plug. Therefore, if you are charged an import fee as a part of the cost of this item by the shipper, contact Amazon Customer Service and demand your money back. Update - I have just bought a second unit, so that now I will always have one available that is charged. I still absolutely love this digital magnifier! Since I bought the first unit, several improvements have been made, including a slightly thinner structure and two extra levels of magnification. ________________________________________________________________________________ Having used this unit daily for several months, I can't say enough about how truly wonderful it is. Were it possible to give a higher rating than 5 Stars, I would happily do so. The image projected is clear and the background colour can be changed to enhance readability for different low vision conditions. The charge lasts longer than I would have expected - and the materials from which it is constructed are very sturdy and do not feel cheap. I also like the storage pouch, as it protects the screen when the magnifier is carried in a shoulder bag. This digital magnifier is every bit as good as models costing many hundreds of dollars more. In fact, I have one that I paid more than $1,000 for which doesn't stay charged as long. This one even has a stand to enable one to sign one's name while looking through the screen, which my more expensive unit does not have. I hope that a lot of people who have low vision but who do not have loads of money will find out about this magnifier. It will really change their lives!

My 11 year old son recently lost his vision in his left eye and has reduced vision in his right. We bought this device to help him in school. It is working well for him and we have seen an improvement in his ability to read with the help of the device. The only downside to the device is that it is slightly challenging to keep it still in order to move the device, it works best with lying flat on the pages.

Bought this for my 92 year old aunt. She gets confused by all the buttons and functions.

I purchased this for a family member with very poor vision where a magnifying glass wasn't strong enough. Hes very happy to be able to read the label of ingredients on items at the grocery store. He said its constructed well and easy to use.
