>my attention was the announcement that during the convention, our
>Independence Market will be selling the Orbit Reader 20 for $549. This is a
>one-time deal, only available for the 2019 convention. The announcement

>This simple and affordable refreshable Braille display serves as a
>standalone text reader and basic notetaker. When paired with a smart phone
>or computer, it gives Braille access to the text on these devices. Purchase
>it at convention for $549.00, which is $50.00 off the retail price. Please
>note that the Orbit is only available from the Independence Market at
>convention, not thereafter.

>I myself have been using an Orbit Reader 20 since I purchased one at our
>2017 convention in Orlando. Yes, I did have to send my Orbit Reader in twice
>for repairs, but that is usually the way of it with refreshable braille
>technology. I must say that I am quite pleased with my Orbit Reader. It
>serves me well as a book reader and a simple note-taker. And you can see
>from the aforementioned announcement that the Orbit Reader can also be
>paired with a computer or smart phone.

>$549 is a pretty good price. If you purchase an Orbit Reader directly from
>Orbit Research, you will pay $599, and if you buy from the American Printing
>House for the Blind, that price is $699. No matter where you purchase your
>Orbit Reader, all support calls and repairs are handled directly by the
>manufacturer, Orbit Research.

>Happy shopping at the convention.
