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.
>>24683713Used to be obsessed with that shit in 1st grade for some reason.
>>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
>>24683713>tired>sitting in a very dimly lit room with my eyes closedThat sounds way too relaxing. I'd fall asleep within 4 minutes of starting desu.

The absolute state of this board. The fact any of you are even pretending to believe a massive faggot like OP is just tragic.

>>24683713Where do you get your braille books from?
>>24687939I pickpocket them from the people walking in and out of the local ophthalmology clinic
>>24687391We had some braille books in the school library when I was a kid and a couple of my classmates got really into it for no real reason so it seems plausible enough.
