well ultimately if this service takes off, they will be able to cut down on costs by getting rid of personnel at the Peterborough call centre as wel as being able to lay off peple who check the books in and out, and who stuff the pouches with new books and put them in the post. Harsh bit of economics but hopefully this would mean they have more money to make more books with. ----- Original Message ----- From: James O'Dell To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, June 30, 2007 9:18 PM Subject: [access-uk] RNIB Bookstream Book Club Hi Just seen the message about the above. I am wondering where this leaves the "talking book service", since from the sound of things you could basically get the same or better functionality by taking out a si Jamesngle subscription to the Bookstream Book club.
