I agree with Subramani. Using a cassette will be quite useful for contemporary literature. Only old texts are available free on the internet. For text visit http://promo.net/pg and for audio version of old classics visit www.librivox.org
For braille books visit the site of National Library for the Blind of UK at www.nlbuk.org and that of RNIB of UK at www.rnib.org.uk Best regards, Amiyo.
