Don't forget the Refreshabraille from aph! It has 18 cells and it's both
bluetooth and usb and it's less than two grand!

Just as an fyi you can get the Seika Braille display here in the states for les

I know different people have different preferences but in case price is one of

This is interesting. I was just the opposite . I read on a 20 sell for a few
months and found it utilitarian but not really comfortable because the constant
need to scroll broke up the flow of my reading. So, I graduated from a braille
lite m20 to a braille connect 32 and it's been wonderful.
Hello Carolyn,
I'm glad to hear that you liked the Braillino. I just got an estimate for one
today as I'm trying to get financing for one.
The price here in France, including shipping and tax, is €3807.
I, too, prefer the 20 cell display as it requires me to move my hands less.
Cheers,
