Christina,

you can also use voice dream reader on your i phone, paired with your 
brilliant, to read electronic braille.  that way, you can be wherever you want 
to be when you read your books.

I haven’t tried this yet, with my own brilliant, but I am just now 
experiementing with it with my i phone.

thanks for telling us about the special version of books for refreshable 
displays-where on the site do you find this, please?

thanks,
Caitlyn
