I have to agree, I have an 18-cell, my original and I can read pretty fast using it. My husband bought me a 32-cell and it too is great, it resides mostly at work but it always comes home for the weekend and I use either with equal ease and speed.
I am a one-handed reader, (left) and my thumb is always read to press the advance key. I actually prefer the 18-cell for pleasure reading a book, or traveling because it is lighter to carry and, if I am on a bus or in a car it is easier to operate in a confined space using the 18-cell. If I am connecting it to the computer, or at work where I use a lot of files with long medical words, I prefer the 32-cell because words are not broken up on two separate lines.

It is equally as fast to use an 18 cell as a 32. Your thumb is next to the thumb keys at all times, and can be advanced very quickly. It really depends on preference. If you are buying your own unit, a 32 cell is much more expensive. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Powers, Terry \(NIH/OD/DEAS\) [E]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected] >Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2006 10:15:36 -0400 >Subject: RE: [Braillenote] braillenote mpower q t >Hi Jenny; >My preference would be a 32 cell, any day.
