Braille books are considerably more expensive than print books, not something you accidentally order unless it is a very short book. They tend to run around $20 per hundred pages, 500 page book will be around $100, part of the reason blind people tend to prefer audio books.

>>24683713i would love to read with my eyes closed
One of the more beautiful and inspiring things I have read in recent years. How does the experience of braille compare to reading? Does it require more concentration or less? Is anything lost in translation? Is it slower, or faster?
>>24685183It changes over time as your tactile sensory sensitivity increases. For a fluent brailler it's basically the same speed as being a starecuckhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQLxJ2-zwVk
