Hi,
Hence the institution of memory sticks for the Plextalk players. I was
hoping that we were getting close to being able to buy books as anyone else
can buy them and as we can buy Braille books. I love Braille, but storage is
of course a problem; but there are books I would like to have rather than
merely to borrow.. Well done to all those who are trying to obtain a safe
system for all of us.
Cheers,
Mike

I think RNIB would do the same if they knew of people doing this with their
talking books.

Stretching the definition?
Its more than that. People who do that are personally and individually
responsible for creating obstructions to access to information for blind
people. They personally and individually allow publishers and others to
throw up their hands and say: "there you go: what did we tell you."
If I knew of specific people doing this with my Library I'd remove their
borrowing rights.

hello
you can indeed buy some of RNIB's daisy audio books. about 350 titles are
currently available.
We are working on a way to make them all available for sale. We believe that
blind people should have the same choice as sighted people - to buy or
borrow. But if you borrow you shouldn't copy and keep! that is stretching
the definition of "library" and "borrow".
You can browse daisy books for sale at:
