David,
I recently order Private Eye and it is only available via memory
stick or CD and cost me £15 extra as an already subscriber to
their NTNM service. I have asked for ages that they get Private
Eye as a text download but the Eye seem to be resistant to this
thinking we might distribute its contents around! They have
ignored my request when I've written to Heslop, a disgrace!
I'd be interested how RNIB respond to your situation with the
price - it seems crazy! Something we're all having to get
accustomed to sadly and it won't get better in the next five
years either! (frown).
Kind regards,
Paul

Subject: [access-uk] Further Chaos RNIB Services
Does anybody know what is going on with the Talking Newspaper and
Magazine Service?
Today I visited
http://www.rnib.org.uk/services-we-offer-reading-services-nationa
l-talking-newspapers-and-magazines/newspapers-andvisited
and saw that I could pay £16 for a subscription to Private Eye.
However when I tried to place an order today via the helpline I
was
told I would have to pay £49.20 for this and that the website was
"outdated!".
Luckily I had checked the price before ordering.
I have asked for a Manager to ring me back about this but 2 main
questions are obvious.
1. Why are they creating such problems by allegedly maintaining
"outdated information".
2. How can a Charity possibly justify this 300% level of
increase in
subscriptions?
