Hi Albert,

I just checked out the Seedlings site.  They do have print and picture books

with added braille.  They also have a text only catalog that they say is 
screen reader friendly: http://www.seedlings.org/catalog.txt

Just for future information, the dual print-braille books are also called 
twin vision books. The NLS has a selection of them to borrow also.
