Here here Barry with regard to not being contacted about the new talking book 
machine.  No, do not give it a thought, cancelling and re-joining, you will not 
get one of these new machines.  Not sure what their criteria will be but 
something like a new member will get what is available on the day it is being 
sent out to them.  I am simply interested in finding other members who like 
myself missed this opportunity of entering into the pilot scheme.  

Thank you Barry for responding.

Eleanor

  Hi  Eleanor

  I'm a member and this is the first I have heard of it.  However, I haven't 
had time to read 'Read on', so I am at fault there.

  I was contacted by the talking library some months ago, but it was just to 
see how I rated the current service - No mention of the new talking book 
machine.

  It's a shame that only new members are eligible.  I suppose we could cancel 
then re-join.

  Cheers

  Barry

  I am wondering how many members on this list use the RNIB Talking Book 
Library and ow many of those members were contacted about the new type of 
Talking Book machine which can be used with USB Flash Drive.  I understand that 
there is a pilot going on at present with regard to this machine but equally I 
understand that no existing member of the library will be entitled to one of 
these new books, only new members will receive them.  For those of you in the 
pilot, what do you think of the machine and out of interest did the Talking 
Book Library contact you directly about this pilot scheme or did you hear about 
it through Read-on, the Talking Book Library CD sent out to members.

  Eleanor
