How long have you been a member? Just looking for reasons why some people weren't sent info. Remember the information I received was not a direct offer of a player, I had to meet the criteria and then apply by E-mail. There were 1000 machines available I think and there was a chance they could have received more responces than machines available. I took the machine thinking I would have to join a focus group to discuss the player but haven't heard anything about that as yet.

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.

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 ----------From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of ELEANOR BURKESent: 06 May 2009 3:51 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Talking Book LibraryI 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 ---------- I am using the Free version of <http://www.spamfighter.com/len>SPAMfighter.
