Jackie I have lost count the times I have asked books to be sent out in the correct reading order.

Reading is my passion, all kinds to make life interesting.
As for their digital service, if it works as well as their on line shop then I can't wait. groan.
We can but hope all might be working by the time it is active.

Hi Hazel

What I do is keep a Word copy of my entire book list which is very long.  I
always ask for the books to be sent at random so that I don't receive more
than one book at a time by the same author.  There is a Random button so the
list can be shuffled.

If, however, I wanted what you do, and wished to have a complete series sent
in the correct order, I would specifically ask for it or it would end up as
you have discovered!

I once asked for one book, and ended up having the entire series added to my
list which wasn't what I requested at all.  What with the discrepancies at
RNIB, and talking books getting lost in the post or in the system, I can't
wait for the digital service to become a reality.  Reading has become such a
huge part of my life now, I give over most of my spare time to listening to
talking books or downloads from Audible.

Good luck.

Am I the only person with this problem?
I have decided to read a series of 16 books from the above.
7 books were extras and the rest went onto my list.
Now any sensible person would I hope send these out in reading order,
not the above.
I have book 1 then others in all sorts of positions throughout the series.
I can see exactly what they have done, sent them out from the catalogue
listing straight down the list which is not in reading order.
I have tackled them and await a call back.
Do you not think in these days of technology they could get this very
important thing correct.
Am I expecting far too much?
Views please.
