Hi Eileen. Sadly, Apple is a closed type system, and if Android ever gets just as usable with braille as Apple, and it has the ability to do continuous reading, it's something I'll have to give a serious look. I use braille almost exclusively now, so it's a major thing for me. I'd love it if Apple would make it possible to scroll continuously with a braille display, but I'm sure it's very low on their list of priorities at this point. There are some rather significant VoiceOver issues that need reparing, namely, the inability to go from heading to heading without the page moving in odd ways.
