I know that braille displays made braille accessible to me in a way that revitalized my interest in using it. I found a single line at a time much less daunting than a 5 or 10 volume bralle book. As for thermoform... Don't get me started, especially in the muggy south west ontario summer.
When I first wen back to braille on receiving a braille display, my fingers got very irritated. I actually went to some braille proofers and asked if I was likely to lose sensitivity by reading too much. After they reassured me I went nuts. My fingers never actually bled though. If you are experiencing that, then your choice of braille display is extremely important and you will want to make sure that the one you get is going to be gentle on your fingers. Of the four models I have personally used and trained on, I think that the braille edge has the smoothest most comfortable dots, but this could be entirely subjective. I always recommend that people try at least one or two displays before buying, but that might be especially important for you.
