Andy, I think maybe you are stretching a point some what. I often fear the concession we enjoy now with Articles for the Blind postage is being somewhat abused, and I'm not sure that dealers in access products should be using the service as much as they do. I've had invoices sent me with articles for the blind labels stuck on the envelope, just to give one example. HumanWare did observe the rules better, I think, when they sent me a VAT exemption form to sign by regular postage. While I know that many blind people are poor, and aren't slow to point that out, I believe we could be shooting ourselves in the foot if persistent mis-use or abuse of the concession continues. Just My twenty eight pence worth - or is it more now to send a letter second class? From Ray I can be contacted off-list at: mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- Andy Collins So, if the bbc shop, and Chivers use AFB labels for their blind customers, then why can't we use them to send audio books to each other? Yes, these are comercially available books, but in a way, we are restricted in our access to the printed word, and can't just buy the audio version on the hi-street - Maybe I'm taking limited choice too far here?
