I hope they've made the dots a bit more durable than what was used in the Orbit Reader 20 and 20+. I say this after having my #OrbitReader20 sent in for repairs twice within a couple years, and even after the second repair, another dot decided it was going to ghost me.

@miki #OrbitResearch already has easily replaceable batteries in all of their #BrailleDisplay and most of their other products as far as I know. However the #orbitreader20 and #orbitReader20Plus do not use USB-C which is another problem they would need to address.
@devinprater see I am still unclear on why they went with #Humanware for the ereader when they had previously done a large pilot program with the #orbitreader20 which works with many more devices out of the box and is used by organizations like the RNIB and could have been implemented in a similar fashion.
#OrbitReader20:
Assigned some keys for iOS today that were either used or doubled-up. Maybe someone will find these useful:

7+8+space: Siri.
2+7: Prev App.
5+8: Next App.
