[blindkid] Downloading braille books?

[Jaquiss, Robert]

Hello Mary:

     In my opinion, there are no preschool friendly Braille displays. Braille displays by their nature have lots of moving parts. Care must be taken to read Braille displays with clean dry hands.
If you download a braille book, the safest thing to do with it is to emboss it. Tis is done with an embosser. 

Regards,

Robert

I know there's fabulous technology out there . . . but we haven't really
started with technology at all yet (Eddie's in the hard copy world, still).
What do you use to read books that you download?  Is there a device you'd
recommend for early readers?  Being a toddler, Eddie's still pretty hard on
stuff, so anything delicate wouldn't be a good idea for him.
