Any 40 cell refreshable display will do most of what you want, but I don't
know of any refreshable braille display which will allow you to make
simultaneous bookmarks in multiple files.
Contact the companies who sell them and see if you can try them out before
you buy. You shouldn't need a PC to read .brf files.

Subject: [duxuser] Reading BRF files on a refreshable display
I am looking for recommendations on efficient solutions for efficiently
assisting in the reading of BRF files that fulfills the following
requirements.
* Can process ".BRF" files from NLS WebBraille, Duxbury, and Megadots
sources.
* Portable.
* 40 characters 8 dot Braille.
* Capability to bookmark sections in multiple files simultaneously.
* QUickly search for page number or key text.
* Efficient controls for moving to the next line once a line has been
read.
* moving efficiently to the next braille page.
* Reliable.
As a student I am dealing with about 2000 Braille pages a semester.
Embossing this quantity and carrying it with me in paper form is out of
the question.
I currently use a Focus 40 Blue so a computer based solution is workable
as long as it can handle the requirements. Programs such as notepad
although they permit reading the braille, do not have any capability for
book marking for fast page navigation.
A solution that utilizes a note taker approach is also workable assuming
that the above requirements are met. The reason that I have specified the
minimum display size as 4 characters is so that formatted braille is
maintained such as tables.
