Hi Susie,
That's good to know. I doubt I'd use it as a braille display, so that's
one consideration I don't have to worry about.
You guys are helping me sort out the merits of the different units.
Thanks.
Jen

Jean, I haven't read web-Braille books on an 18-cell BrailleNote, but I
have read them, and very easily, on the BrailleNote PK (which also has
18 cells) when we had one here to test. It's actually pretty slick; your
hands can just stay in one place while you scroll through the file. I
like my 32-cell standard BrailleNote most of the time, especially when I
have to use it as a Braille display with the computer; in that situation
18 cells is really annoying because lines of text in a computer file are
typically 72 characters long and in order to read on line on an 18-cell
display you have to scroll back and forth. But for just reading Braille
files, 18 cells works great.

Hi, Jean: When my BN was in for repair, I borrowed an older 18-35ll
unit. I found the reading to be great! It was very comfortable, and
there was no lag. Web Braille books were easy to read. You should have
no trouble at all. Bob and Maxy-wax
