Hi Barry,
We have a few clients that have Kindle for PC linked to their grid II software. It works well and is reliable.

David - Now that hadn't occurred to me - thanks.
I don't think it helps with any of my current people, though.
Does anyone know if the grid family works cleanly with Kindle software?
