but publishers don’t make any money off of those deals, either (it’s a 0% split in the contract), which i think is nice.
on the other hand, i’ve never seen a successfully executed braille deal during my time in the trenches. unfortunate.
I agree that it’s nice that the costs of such books are reduced. I wasn’t aware that successfully executed Braille deals were so rare, but maybe they would be less so if at least the publishers stood to make a little in the process. There would probably be a lot more books in Braille if someone were making some money somewhere in the process.
I can’t imagine having the number of books available to me limited by whether or not someone went to the effort to make them in Braille. That’s a depressing thought.
