It would cost a lot of money to do that. Braille books are expensive to
emboss.

When clicking on a publisher quality title it says,
underneath the description, that it can be ordered in
embossed Braille. I gather this is no way as
convenient as being able to download it and reading it
in a Braille Lite; does it also cost, or is it free,
at least?
