also, using the TB service negates the necessity to both have a computer and an
internet connection in order to listen to a book.

I think the advantage that the talking Book still offers is a simpler
machine. This is still going to be significant for people who have recently
lost their sight or who do not feel competent in use of computers. It would be
interesting to know what percentage of the talking book membership are regular
computer users.

Hi Ian
The point I was making was actually the other way around - what are the
advantages of TB membership, as compared to this new service? seems to me that
the new one offers everything TB membership does, and more, with the adition
that it is more flexible.

The only advantage I can see over Talking Book membership is that you can
have access to the books instantly if you have a broadband connection. It's an
interesting idea and it works well enough. However, I think it's worth making
the point that it doesn't actually give us access to any more books than we
currently have. This is surely what we want rather than another way of
accessing the same material already available to us.

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.
