Hi Ellen,
Your questions are interesting. Now that I have become acccustomed to using
a refreshable Braille display, I prefer it to paper. The dots do not rub
down no matter how many times one reads something, and you don't havce to
worry about wrinkling the paper, carrying large volumes, and do not need the
storage space that Braille books require. You may get other opinions, which
is what you want I think.
As for the feel of the dots, the dots seem plainer with a refreshable
Braille display than with paper. However, I still get some Braille
magazines, and still write and read Braille from paper.
Hope this helps,
Sue S.

Can I ask those of you who use Braille for some help?
I don't have to tell you that Braille in paper takes up a lot of room so I
may have to consider alternatives for my students. I also know that this
group is comfortable with reading off computers one way or another.
So, are people comfortable using refreshable Braille for extended periods?
Is it comparable to paper, or better, or do some people find it as
unpleasant as plastic?
