Hi Ray, Firstly let me correct you, the Bookworm is an 8 character display, and not one. I am not very good at giving reviews on things Ray, so all I will say, is that it is like anything, that you buy new it takes a bit of getting used to. But once you do it is really great. I know that it is a bit expensive, but in my opinion it is worth every penny. And I have to say that I have used it more than my Road runner.

Glad someone seems to think as I do regarding the preferability of Braille output over speech for reading novels. I just wondered if you would mind telling us how you find the bookworm to use?
