I realize reverse translation is possible. Before I bought my VN and BN, I
backtranslated some books so I could read them on-the-go with my Keynote
Companion.
But I think we're breaking the rule of what a "specialized format" is. A
specialized format is braille, not text. For this reason, I think it's a
no-no to back-translate a web braille book.
