Hello. I've used many displays over the years. Most suffer from weak or broken dots
after a short time, if not other issues. Six years ago, I bought two Orbit Reader 20's.
Except for a battery issue with one of them, I've had no hardware trouble with them what so
ever! They have traveled with me around the globe and I've used them extensively over the
years. For pure hardware reliability, they've been the best I've ever seen. Contrast that
with the Hims Smart Beetle, which I bought just before the Orbits. With very little use, I've
experienced weak and missing dots with it.
Hope that helps.
