You are so right! The BrailleNote is the greatest expensive little toy I've ever owned.

I used a Braille Lite for almost three years before buying my BrailleNote in Des Moines at the 2001 ACB convention. I couldn't believe how easy it was to pick up the BrailleNote commands, how clear the Braille dots were, how much functionality was in the machine.

And the manual was right there, loaded in the Book Reader. And intuitive help, too!

My BrailleLite always had dots sticking, every time I turned it on. My BrailleNote has NEVER had a dot stick. I can't wait to upgrade to the new browser.
