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.

Regards  Derek

hi mike.

you could possibly try and get hold of a braille display second hand? 
that'd allow you to read the classics not to mention other books at
will.

all the best,

Mo.
