Not so much improvement

Dear Wallcraft:

We do sell the Mentor Lite (Netronix EB-600) and it does have 8 font size increases. You would think at first this would really be great. Our EZ Reader has only three Font Size increases. However, the Netronix needs a menu system to get at the 8 font sizes. The EZ Reader you just push the number 8 button. Both, I guess, have their own benefit but reality is that after you double the font size I do not see anyone wanting to triple it. You get too little on a page.

So... what sounds like a big improvement does not really work out as a biggie, sir, in my very humble opinion.
