Hopefully, you already did this, but it seems to me that you should ask the
potential users in your community what they need and would use.  They would
be the best ones to evaluate potential benefits.

Subject: Portable video magnifiers


We would appreciate your help in evaluating whether the purchase of a
portable video magnifier would benefit our visually impaired patrons.
(We have a stationary Aladdin reader.) We would also appreciate hearing
from anyone who has experience with the Telesensory MiniViewer or
similar products, particularly concerning utility, durability and how
you have handled security.

Many thanks,
