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.

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 
offer this service"  or something to that effect./
