I think that the North American standard is to have coin-operated 
photocopiers at strategic places.  This leaves staff only needing to 
copy the most valuable pieces.

The glasses are interesting, but I note that they have a 60 degree field 
of view and a resolution of 320 x 240.  I would conclude from that that 
in order to get a 3" by 2" piece of text at 100 d.p.i. one would need to 
keep one's face only two inches from the desired text. :-)
