I think there will always be _some hardcopy braille, but I think more and more braille will be electronic. I see no reason not to take a BN out of doors, just be careful of too much sunlight. I'm sure Humanware designed it with the thought we would take it with us everywhere. Be aware of sprinklers, too.
Hardcopy braille books in those heavy boxes are too hard for me to handle and I don't want to break my back lugging them. Terri, Amateur Radio call sign KF6CA.
