Hi Mo,
I think £75 is for the text and MP3 service combined.

hi.
many thanks to everyone who have replied to the thread. I really appreciate
the feedback. does anyone have any idea why the person on the phone quoted me
£75? i can't seem to find that price anywhere for newspapers or magazines.
very odd. does anyone know what I need to ask for when ringing them so I
don't get conned in to paying more than i need to? apparently saying you want
to subscribe to newsagent isn't enough...
all the best,
Mo.

Hello Janet.
Many thanks for your response. What i'm after is the service that
provides publications in HTML format ideally for an anual not a monthly
fee. i'm not really sure what to ask them for. from what you're saying,
are only certain publications available via HTML download? sorry for all
the questions.
all the best,
Mo.

Hi Mo
if you opt for what they call the mp3 service according to what I've been
told you can either download the audio versions of the magazines or go to
the text and mobile versions. If you would like a list of what is on each
service you can email me privately and I will send you this. My email
address is

Hi.
That's excellent news, though its a shame about some mags being 6 weeks
behind. does anyone know the pricing per year for the download service?
and just to clarify, do you have to pay for the downloads and email
services separately? the catalog also didn't mention which mags were
available for download, they only seem to specify email, audio or print.
so are all titles in the catalog available for download in that case? I
would have asked the helpline advisers, but the last person who i tried
to ask didn't go in to much detail he just said i'll send you a catalog
leaving me none the wiser quoting me £75 per year, but having seen these
prices i'm wondering what i'd be paying £75 for?
all the best,
Mo.

Hi Mo
I also subscribe to the magazines and yes I believe you get exactly what
the print says in magazines like wich. |I only use the text version of
the magazines and newspapers so that I can read them when I wish.

Hello Everyone.
I'm looking for people who are subscribed to RNIB newsagent. I received
a catalogue from them today, but the pricing structure isn't very clear.
I am looking to receive magazines via email or download. which would be
the cheaper option? the implication is that magazines can be downloaded
if you subscribe to the service as a hole, but email prices per issue
seem to be around the £25 mark per issue anually. is it cheaper if you
subscribe to the download service to gain access to all the magazines at
once?
the other question I have is regarding how much of the publication is
edited by the RNIB. do we get access to all articles in which magazine
for example? or just some of the articles? any advice would be very much
appreciated.
all the best,
Mo.
