Well then 250 people should still be able to apply Ian. Do you work for
the RNIB?

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.

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.
