Telemundo
has their viewers believing that a blind woman can read books with her fingers. How does that story sound to you?

It sounds like established fact, given that the books are in Braille.
If they are not in Braille, it is remotely possible depending on how the
books were printed. Most print is not tactilely distinguishable, but
embossed print might be.

I suspect we were supposed to be incredulous at the idea of a blind person reading a book since (presumably) neither of us is blind.
