APH sells the Orbit primarily to educational systems who get money through the Department of Education so they seem to charge $100 more than Orbit Research. So, if you decide to buy an Orbit, I'd buy it from Orbit Research.

With that much of a price hike, one might as well buy a slightly more expensive one for the extra features.

However, I do wonder about the long-term future of Orbit Research. I don't know what else they manufacture besides the Orbit Reader and their calculator. How many of these devices can they sell before the market is saturated. It would be very interesting to get, as it were, the real story as to why American Printing House decided to stop distributing the Orbit Reader, in favor of what they are now wanting people to believe to be a better device.

I do not mind no routing keys. It is very basic. Meaning, you have to convert files to BRF or BRL before putting them on the SD card or you will not be able to read them. It has no translation software. But, the dots feel better on it than any other display I have used, which is most of them. It works great with the iPhone or with computers via USB. Some people have had issues with dots sticking, but I do not think any more than other displays and the cost is so much less, and cost for repairs are so much less, I'm not worried about that.
