Audio books are great for the vision-impaired or even if you're busy. LibriVox is a great resource of audio books, read by volunteers.
Perusing the collection I found a couple recordings of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. The many Holmes stories are broken down into separate files. I found it helpful that the record links the user to the wikipedia pages on Doyle and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes as well as the text from project Gutenberg, an online project of public domain books.
I understand the copyright issues regarding audio books, but the site might be more popular if there were newer titles. This is still an indispensable website and very useful for libraries looking to expand service to the visually handicapped.
