sighted people do not pay for their books.

Same here, I know the tb service costs, subscriptions met some of that cost
in prior times, but now it's all free, they will have a hard time if donations
don't keep up with what even the heavily subsidised subscriptions brought in.

I dont necessarily think TB should be free. I am very happy for RNIB to seek
donations. I just wonder about where it might end up. Will the strategy work?

Let me see if I have understood this properly. You think that the talking
book service should be "free" - i.e. paid for from donations, but you don't
think RNIB should actually ask for donations )which of  course we are all free
to make or not according to our preferences and circumstances) in order to run
it.
Is that right?

Hello,

Just got email fron RNIB Connect, which contained the following:
"Help grow the Talking Books library

RNIB has launched a new online fund allowing supporters to donate more
easily, as teams work hard to reach their targets through unique fundraising
drives and activities.

The charity encourages those who find the talking books service of benefit
to setup an online fund and a new book to the online shelf. You can find out
more by visiting rnib.org.uk/talkingbooks"

Is it just me? I am puzzled as to exactly what this means?
Comes very soon after their making Talking Books free...
The link they provide does not give further info about this fund, as far
as I can see.

Mike

pardon my sarcasm  but, it looks look the "free" service wont be free
for much longer. expect the RNIB to ramp up their campaign with strap
lines  along the lines of"without your support we cannot continue to
