Hi,
Terry, I, too, have the HIMS Braille Edge 40. And like you, Evan, I prefer
Grade 2 books for pleasure reading.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Computer braille versus contracted braille
Hi Evan,
When mention was made of the availability of Word as a Bookshare format it
came up that some people might prefer the contracting done by their
paperless devices to that done by the Bookshare converter. Paperless devices
probably use different Grade 2 converters from the one Bookshare uses. I use
computer braille only for foreign language material and certainly like you
prefer grade 2 for reading literary braille. I have to admit that at age 71
I like to listen to books a lot but have problems falling asleep to voice
reading so for that reason I still prefer braille. Braille keeps me awake
and on my toes! Plus you don't learn the spellings of anything when
listening.
