copyright issues are though I believe a problem here for some reason.  Yes I do 
of course think we should have the same access to books as people get in the US 
but until we legally can do this then it seems to me that services like 
BookStream club is a good option.

Also, unless I have totally misunderstood things, BookShare is basically text 
books not audio books, so the services are not really the same though of course 
I would like access to these books.

  oh come on, then look at bookshare and all the other services in the states.

  they keep copyright by getting express permission from the publishers, so me 
thinks not that this is an excuse.

  not really as if you want the book you can order them on CD..  this probably 
relates to copyright issues.  If you could just download the books they would 
need to be copy protected in some way.

  Yes I know that if you get the CD you can easily just copy it, but 
organisations must do what they have to to keep the publishers on side.

    yes but the disadvantage i see with the rnib book stream club is that you 
can't download books. this is stupid in my opinion.
