I haven't seen any statistics lately, but I have heard in the past that Europe 
had a much higher literacy rate for Braille than   we do. That is not 
surprising given the cost of the hardware, and the fact that, at least as far 
as I understand it, it is subsidized, so that all the blind people who need one 
can get a display at no cost in many European countries. We certainly cannot do 
that here.
