Hi Ian.
Thanks, but the point I was making was that talking book subscribers seem to be
able to pay around £75 per year and get the latest talking book machine on
loan, yet us BookStream members because we have the online version of the same
catalogue have to buy a player outright. At least RNIB should give us the
option of loaning one in the same way as talking book subscribers. If they
wish, a TBS can pay just £50 for a library only subscription if they've their
own player. We just don't have an equal footing in this regard.
All the best, Ibrahim.

If you buy a PTX1, you should get your next Book Stream subscription free as
they are currently offering a year's subscription to Book Stream as part of a
PTX1 package.

Hi.
I'd personally love one, however I'm a BookStream member so not officially
a member of talking books although I have access to the entire catalo to stream
online and request on cd if I so wish. I wish fervently that we BookStream
members could pay a supplement to our fee and receive a loan player for those
occasions that books on cd need to be used IE when the service not infrequently
goes down. As it is, if I want a player, I have to cough up for one but hay
hoe, that's what you get when you do everything online.
All the best, Ibrahim.

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.
