I read web braille on my 18 cell display all the time. It works fine. Sure, I'd love to have the larger display, but the 18 cell works great for web braille just the same.

It's actually pretty slick; your hands can just stay in one place while you scroll through the file. I like my 32-cell standard BrailleNote most of the time, especially when I have to use it as a Braille display with the computer; in that situation 18 cells is really annoying because lines of text in a computer file are typically 72 characters long and in order to read on line on an 18-cell display you have to scroll back and forth. But for just reading Braille files, 18 cells works great.

I found the reading to be great! It was very comfortable, and there was no lag. Web Braille books were easy to read. You should have no trouble at all.
