Is Braille Obsolete? Or Weddings for brownies?

I bet a novel written in braille is about as big as an encyclopedia set.

This is the King James translation of the Bible in braille:

Back when I first learned I had RP (a slow case of it, but well diagnosed back in the late eighties), it really threw me for a big loop and I felt I would need to learn lip reading and braille. Somehow I tried braille once, I forget how, and it seem crazily impossible, and besides, I could still see. And don't practice lipreading at all. Almost 40 years later, I can still see, though in the early naughts I had another bunch of scares and lost a lot of vision in one eye via a surgery gone wrong; that eye has not gotten better but has stabilized, and the other one is swell. Please don't poke it.
I have no idea if braille is moving toward obsolete; I would guess it probably still is needed in some ways, some places.

Meantime, I don't hear well, and it gets less fixable with hearing aids as the years go by. I can't afford them anyway. This isn't a whine, it's part of life's package; I'm just explaining.
Anyway, I still prefer to hold a book and read, love it.

The German Central Library for the Blind produces still more books in Braille than audio books - the collection has more Braille books as well.

And they produce sheet music in Braille format. ("The "DaCapo" project, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Health, began at the DZB in 2003 to produce specialty sheet music for the blind. The goal is not only to make musical scores more widely available to the visually impaired, but also to improve career opportunities for blind musicians.")
