There are portable Braille displays, but they are expensive (four figures), less luggable than e-ink readers, and they generally need to be teamed with a laptop, or,
more recently, an iOS device. Although that device can take an SD card - you could read documents from that, but you've still only got a line at a time in the most compact devices, and the fragility, expense & battery life issues. Audiobooks tend to be the tipple of choice for portable reading among a few people I know.

Braille e-readers exist in the
concept design stage.
