Yes, i agree that other solutions could be better - at least for the authors, publishers and copyright holders. Sometimes i'm just a little bit idealistic.
On the other hand the majority of authors and publishers didn't care much about visually impaired people in the past. It was and is usually just not a profitable market. Hence the statement "no profit now, no loss tomorrow" wouldn't be wrong for most of the authors and publishers - even if non-profits would sell accessible books to visually impaired people without compensating the holders of rights. Yeah, i know...i'm really a little bit idealistic sometimes.
