[nabs-l] Braille e-Book CONCEPT

[Antonio Guimaraes]

you want to produce a concept?

Concepts are developed, built, prototyped, manufactured and sold.

Either I missed something, or I really saw just a few paragraphs talking 
about something i already have, a braille display that can read braille 
books.

Where is the science behind this "wonderful" idea?
