In 1986 Franklin Computer Corporation, Burlington, New Jersey, introduced Spelling Ace, an electronic spelling corrector. The response was sensational. Franklin sold more than 800,000 Spelling Aces in the first two years! Depending how the electronic book is defined, this may be considered a candidate for the first handheld electronic book or e-book. This vintage collectible is in excellent condition, no parts missing, and comes with instruction book and other sale documents.
