Hi Eric: Carolyn back atchya. If I remember right, (always a risky proposition), the easy-braille 40 was$4,485, for the 40 cell display. The Braillino, which is also a notetaker, and does more on it's own is $3,990. And just an FYI, I didn't rely on my memory after all, I went back to the website. Ah, laziness can be curbed after all. I'm living proof.:) Carolyn Haas [email protected]
