Yes, a Braille ereader is a good idea, but given the number of older people who have lost or greatly diminished sight I don't understand why Raised Print books or ebooks shouldn't be developed. The older people already know that alphabet.

(The argument in part has always been that Raised Print books would be too bulky, but HELLO! Braille books are HUGE, doncha know.)

A Raised Print ereader with a refreshable display would also be a niche market, but not quite as niche as a Braille ereader, and would certainly be of help both to those blind from birth (they already learn both braille and the regular alphabet) and to our older people who can no longer read even large print. My grandmother has macular degeneration and can't read even the largest print on my ereader, but I bought puffy paint to write on birthday and Christmas cards for her in homemade raised print.

I wish someone would think about this!
