Keith, Not an answer for the immediate future, but later this year, if all promises prove true, we should have a choice between at least two different full-page refreshable braille displays.The first one is from M I T University (I think I have that right) which they are calling a kind of braille kindle. The second is called BLtab. both claim that their products will be much cheaper than existing Braille displays. I have been following the quest for the holy Braille for some years now, but, finally, I think we might actually have got there! so, watch this space! Good luck, Sandy
