With another school year ending, and with new chapters for many of our readership beginning, you, your children, or your students may be faced with the unsettling reality of having to return the BrailleNote that you've been faithfully using.

Not only do these prices include shipping within the 48 Continental United states, but we're also offering each of our customers a complimentary Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus valued at $99.00 USD, as well as an Executive Products Leather Carrying Case, saving you close to an additional $250.000 USD off of this already ridiculously low price! It's simply the best cyber deal out there! For the past 17 years the BrailleNote name has been synonymous with excellence and innovation, and the Apex continues to set standards that other notetakers have yet to meet. This exceptionally priced gem will give you the time in your life to have the time of your life; providing the gift of Braille as one technology chapter closes and a new one begins.
