Hi friends! I would like to ask some questions regarding Orbit reader 20. 1. Does the orbit reader support both Braille contractions or non contractions? 2. does the orbit reader support all Indian languages in Braille? 3. Does the orbit reader support many books formats like PDF, EPUB, word and TXT? May I read books in this formats with it? Kind regards Aman.
