The Geddes Reader Volunteer Group have made the decision that,
with an eye to the future, it would be sensible at this stage to enter
into an agreement with another agency to help in the manufacture,
dispatch and marketing of the reader.
To this end the Queen Alexandra College, Birmingham have agreed
to take on the day to day running of the project. We feel that they are
well suited for this task as they are dedicated to helping disabled people,
especially those with impaired vision. As any monies gained from this
new arrangement will go directly to the College, which is a registered
charity and depends on earned income for its survival, or to three other
charities, it is felt that the original ethos of the Geddes Reader project is
continuing. The handover should take place in March 2011.

New Product Launch! After extensive development, and after
listening to feedback from Glide users a new product is launched
today: the Geddes BookReader.
Primarily developed to enable the magnification of open books
without pressing the pages flat, this hand held device with its
focus finger allows the user to pass over the text whilst maintaining focus.
It can also be left as a stand alone camera, using the frame
as a stable base, or elevated by using a special arm which
increases the capacity to view larger objects.
The original Geddes Glide Reader will remain in production
alongside this new product. Because of an increase in the
cost of materials the price of the Glide has increased to £75.
The BookReader will cost £150 and will be available from
the end March 2011. Pre-orders are being taken.
