I know CNIB produces books in formats like audio. Aren the audio books in libraries and bookstores good enough?
Most audio books in bookstores and libraries are abridged – which means you don’t get access to the whole book. This is fine if you are looking for vacation reading, but it’s not fair to expect people with vision loss to always read books that have been shortened. In addition, the typical retail cost of an unabridged audio book can be as much as $200, considerably more than a print edition.
