Hi Mo. I think Mike's point is that it's much easier to read a Braille book on paper, rather than a Braille display. I would agree. Few weeks ago I was visited by a Braille display sales man. The aim of the visit was to give me a demonstration. Guess what, the demonstration failed to start simply because the sales man discovered the kit was faulty! So the point here is. If Mike has a Braille display to take to his class to read a book, what if the display becomes faulty on the way to class! We can rely on paper books, but we can not rely on a Braille display not going faulty at the wrong time.
