I support that type of stuff. As long as it's the case of a blind person buying (or having someone buy for them) the book and then put it in a format they can use. I see no problem with that and wouldn't support any publishers complaints on that front.

But if it's the school or some company buying one copy of the book, then making large print copies available for multiple blind students etc. I'd be opposed as the publisher should get their cut for each person that gets the book.
