Hi,
By residences I will asume you mean anywhere in india. :)
I considered the BrailleMe specially so because they and I are both
located
in mumbai so warranty if any should not be an issue.
However certain limitations of the brailleme make me think the orbit is
far
better than the brailleme. I.E the 40kb file limit? no sub directory
support just reads files in the first directory and so on.
Braillemes refresh rate though seems to be slightly better than that of
the
orbit reader though the orbit reader feels much more crisp to the fingers
from what I have read of users experiences.
Cheers.
