Garth, learning to tactually read braille is the critical piece and this won't do that. I have been a rehabilitation teacher and am currently a teacher of students who are visually impaired. If you will commit the time to learn braille you will be pleased even if you use it on a limited basis. You may or may not read novels using braille but there are many other daily uses of braille.
