I feel the same way. I was born in 1957, and I lugged heavy armloads of
braille textbooks around, no electronic device. There were few books
available, and no books I could buy and own. I love the access to so many
books now. I have friends getting books published that are only available in
print or kindle and other such formats. I can read their books. My book will
be the same till I can get it in other formats.

I have a kindle and like it for what I can read on it. Disappointed that
all books aren't tts enabled. Disappointed that the app for the iphone
isn't accessible. I also have a Barnes and Noble account and use the app
for the nook on my iphone. Between both devices and the victor stream I
seem to always be able to find something to read. While it's not perfect
and ideal at least it is now possible for me to read what others are
reading. Some of you may be older and some are not. I was born in 1965 and
when in school braille was just text books and some library books. When I
was moved from La. State school for the blind I had very little braille
material. In high School a bit more material and in college not even one
text book in braille. Books and materials came from rfb&d for college
classes. Libraries were years behind in what was available for reading.
Now with the Kindle, vr stream, and Nook app I can read new material at the
same time as my sighted peers do. A long way to go but better than before.
