Likewise,
I'd pay for this especially with the text books on offer, but I like to
wonder about when I'm reading or lay on the sofa.
It's not that comfortable sitting in your desk chair when you've been
sitting in it working all day.
It's certainly sounds like a promising step forward.

Hi John. Is there a rough timeframe on when downloads will be along? Months
or years?
I'm really excited about the idea of this service. Great to see the RNIB
spearheading this. I'd definitely pay for it if there were downloads but am
unlikely to use the streaming service because I don't associate book reading
with sitting at a computer.
Thanks
...Damon

hello brian,
you can't download books right now. we're in negotiation with the software
manufacturers to obtain the necessary permissions. so downloads will come
before too long.

Hi John,
Can I download books to listen too on the move, or should I keep me
talking book subscription open for this purpose.?
Brian.

from RNIB
hello listers,
I thought you'd be interested to know about a new web catalogue and
book streaming service from RNIB. If you go to www.rnib.org.uk/booksite you
will find our new, very user friendly catalogue containing all our audio
books, Braille books, music and maps. You can also register and buy items
that are for sale. The audio books are not just our conventional talking
books but also daisy versions of many of the most popular titles that we
have recorded for individuals. So as well as fiction and biographies you can
find cookery, gardening, the whole range of academic subjects and even books
on the Archers and old steam railways.
You can also join our bookstream bookclub and for £50 a year you can
stream audio books direct to your PC. So, just like a sighted person, you
can browse around, find something you're in the mood for and begin reading
it straight away.
But take a look for yourself and tell us what you think.
If you've got any queries that aren't answered on the site itself you
can contact our technology support team on 08459 000015.
Or talk to customer services on 0845 702 5153 You are also most
welcome to contact me directly by email: john.Godber@xxxxxxxxxxxx
Happy reading.
John
