Hi Derek,

Not at all lazy.  I am a proficient Braille reader, but I can fit a Victor
Reader Stream or Bookcourier in my pocket and have 20 books or more on it.
I could not take that number of books with me on the train, or I would have
a permanent back injury.  I can also read with a bookcourier at 400 wpm, I
can't do that in Braille, so far more information is absorbed.  I do love
Braille, but I must admit to being an audio convert.  Besides I can listen
to my talking books in the bath!

All the best

Steve

 Iain says

"McKerral is blind and a Braille reader as also is Jim McCafferty."

Yes but how many  on BAUK  read Braille alot.

For example,  why  do  so  many blind people choose a disk copy of  an RNIB
magazine, rather than a Braille copy?
Why choose  talking  books, rather than braille books?


Note I am of course aware many people not able to read Braille.
I am talking about those that can read braille, but choose not to.
lazy  or what?

Regards,  Derek
