Hi, For me, being able to search reliably and read a long document continuously without focus issues is worth it. I have wanted those features for a very long time and hadn't been able to find them in any other app I tried. Also, I love the fact that braille files look as they would on a notetaker; I have a 40-cell display, and braille formatted for a 40-cell display is formatted correctly when I read it in this app. saving my place in files is lovely as well.
