That's all very well but what if one is unable to use an iphone.
This is crux of problem I think.
For those using Braille displays, and unable to use iphone,
Email is surely best option if there was that choice.

Hi John,
With respect the web browsers on Braille devices are so nineties, they can't
even handle HTML 5. Use your iPhone connected to a Braille device and enjoy
it.
All the best

hi there excatly how is this better for blind people i ask you and as i keep
saying you cannot access the site with braille devices. i cannot find the
computer mags on there yet but as the leaflet says it is only in the
beginning and things will get better and yes i will miss the email service
as well. but again it is all to do with saving money. maybe it will mean a
staff reduction at the rnib but yet the top guy will be given #400 a week
rise because of the augmentation of it all. we live in a strange world. but
some expanation would be nice as derek says. and as jackie says what is the
point in having the too sites all very strange i must say.
do they call this the right to read.
