April,

BARD also has digital Braille downloads available. A lot of the time, both
audio and Braille are available through BARD.

I really wish I could read some of the books on BARD.

I can't hear well.  And I don't 8 to 20 hours to sit and do nothing but
listen and try to comprehend speech.  I usually catch about 1 out of 100
words.  And after two to three minutes, my brain is too exhausted to listen
anymore.

I've tried the rewind and replay, and it never works well.  I'm not even
sure I've tried a single tape they've sent in the last year.  When I
requested a few specific ones, they never came.

I am learning to read on my braille display.  While infinitely slow, I have
better comprehension reading from it than listening to speech.  

There are a few books I'd really like to be able to read.
