Hi John,
I don't believe that there is a version of the Braillenote with a 40 cell display. I do understand you reasons for wanting a larger display. I use the Elba as a notetaker but when working at home I use a Braillex 2D Screen with an eighty cell display. I do believe that the more Braille you have the better. It's just a question of cost and practicality. I've never understood the 18 cell concept. I always thought that it should be 20 cells.

Personally, I would be more ready to buy an Elba if it had a 40-cell version. The reasons are that that is half the standard 80-character screen width and that we much prefer a 40-cell braille display for proofreading the math and science books which we produce. One of our proofreaders is using a Braille Lite 18, but she is waiting impatiently for her Braille Lite 40 to get back from the repair shop. I understand that the Braille Star version of the Braille Note does have 40 cells.
