Well, he wasn't born blind. For most of his life he saw just fine. In his late 50s he started to lose his sight, progressively, and it was mostly gone by the time he hit his 60s. Which means he built up his library while he could still see. Should he throw it all out because he can't read anymore?

Also, not sure, but I'd guess he never learned to read Braille.
