Well it all depends man on what you have I think.
As a technology user I'd prefur to have the audio download because I
don't have to pay for shipping of cds or braille material.
Though I have recieved pamphlets in html and text to.
On the other side I guess if I knew what the audio/ braille cost for
postage I may actually go for the braille letter so I could keep it
because I like that sort of thing.
But its what you have.
I wouldn't have robotic synths read the audio though a human voice maybe
and with audio having reviews of various things yeah if I had to pay for
that maybe.
Though to be honest for us technos there are so many forums etc we
really don't need the pamphlet, even the audyssey mag has sort of
outlived its life though thats mostly because we have had so many
stretches with it not producing that its no longer the big thing it was.
Pluss there are to many indie devs out now.

Hi John.
"audio cd" in synbth, even though listening to synths isn't my favourite
option is what I was thinking, sinse again it's another format and I
know there are programs that can easily create mp3 files from standard
text.
What I'd be tempted to do on the burning issue is burn a few copies, but
also distribute the audio file to any organizations who habilitually
make audio announcements on cd (such as the local society for the blind
where my mum is), and let them handle reproduction.
Obviously cds would be harder to produce as you said, but having a few
kicking around that could be copied or listened to at conventions would
have the same help in distribution methods as anything else.
All the best,
Dark.
There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn. The world is
vast and wondrous strange and there are more things benieth the stars
than even the archmaesters of the citadel can dream.

An audio cd would be surprisingly difficult to make hundreds of copies
of.
You can probably get the disks for $50 (ish), but you can only burn
them one
at a time, and each and every one would take at least 10 minutes of
active
work by the person doing the burning. I'm not saying that it'd be
impossible, but that making audio cds as a primary form of
distribution for
the entire leaflet is probably not our best idea.
Further, there'd also be the fact of narration - I know a lot of
people who
would not want to listen to what is essentially a glorified advertisement
done by synthesizer. Therefore, we'd have to have somebody narrate the
whole
thing (professionally, not some internal mic with background hiss),
and then
somebody to edit that narration.
The idea of an audiogames cd has its own merits - if we wanted, we
could put
together trailors of a number of different games and distribute them
on the
cd along with our introduction, but I think that such a project is a bit
beyond the scope of what we're currently considering.

Braille and an audio CD. Simple. Large print readers are covered by an
audio option. Done.
