[nabs-l] A Question for Braille Display Users

[Joshua Hendrickson]

Hi Chris.  I don't have a braille display, but why couldn't you just
hook up the braille edge to your computer, and open the document on
your computer and read it with your display.  I know the braille edge
can be used with a computer.  Good luck.
