Hi Carolyn and all, I think the Braillino is $3390 at last I checked a few months back. yOu have to add it to the cart I believe to get the prices. But it's been a while since I've been on Handytehc's site. THank you for your observations on the Braillino and Easy Braille. I was torn between the Braillino and Esayy Braille. I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Braillino. I hope you are having a wonderful day.
Musically, Allison My birds are winged blessings, they help me soar!
