hi Iain, I have just been informed via email. It is going to take weeks for the transfer of my talking book subscription to Overdrive. I'm seriously thinking of just forgetting about Overdrive all together. What a huge muddle this is, Billy ----- Original Message ----- From: Iain Lackie To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2014 9:23 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: RNIB Overdrive - In Touch I really think this whole thing has been mismanaged.. There have been too many instances where left and right hand have worked in concert. Surely discussions with local authorities should have happened before the launch.

That's not true - not in my case anyway. Although I established that I was an existing member, the service engaged in a bizarre exchange of emails relating to whether my local authority pays for my subscription and, after my reporting back to the RNIB, I was told that they were going to be talking with 'local authorities' within the next few weeks. They said nothing to me about trying out Overdrive and nothing about what I could do next. They have just left me hanging. What the hell is going on?
