Hi, you're right; for teaching young kids, the MB is awesome. It's fun and it gives immediate, and it sets kids up to learn and be ready for the BN very early on since they've learned to love technology. We have very early readers learning with both. kat

It is not meant for adult braillists or people who are braille literate. Its market is elementary school children who are learning braille. It is designed to teach the writing of Braille, not as a printer or as an actual full-fledged brailler. Maybe if the people you dealt with who tried to get you to buy one had explained this, it might have been a better thing. It's good for what it does, but I'm not sure I'd want to spend all the money for a tool like that unless I had a classroom of blind kids or was an itinerant teacher. Ann P. -- Ann K.
