Hum, Braille display changed my entire outlook on braille. It made the whole system more portable so that I could concentrate on what I was reading without counting down the pages Until I could get rid of the enormous stack of braille in front of me.
One thing about it, if you do fork out for a full 40 sell display, you had better find uses for it. I was lucky. Braille displays are funded here. Even still, I have forced myself to make use of it. There's no way an expensive piece of kit like that will ever sit around unused. I really wish everyone could have a braille display.
