[BlindTlk] Braille books in old old

[Judy Jones]

I think some of the formatting is different, but, you're right, id doesn't affect the ability to read braille.

What country are you from?  You said you find regular grade two braille, or 
as you called it, US braille harder.  I don't see how you find this new 
braille easier.  You mentioned lower f and stuff.  I don't remember that 
they took all that away from the newer braille.  Maybe some of it.  Pam.

Judy, and I learn braille as a child or had no residual vision I probably 
could. However I find the US braille difficult. Dropped F, drop D and 
dropped H. is in weird places main something depending on where they are. 
That is confusing! I read faster in the new braille. I have children’s books 
and some religious things for the taking.
