I agree with you, Jackie.

I'd like Steve to be able to announce what he has that's new. We all know Steve well and, well, maybe don't always quite agree; but a lot of the time it's good stuff and we need to know what's out there and, if he has it, all to the good!

Oh dear, what a sentence!  Never mind, you'll get the gist!

Mo, as far as I personally am concerned, send info to the list, and let
people who sell products like Steve do the same.  At the end of the day,
it's about sharing information, and there is a delete key if people don't
want to read it.  If they don't want to purchase what Steve or anyone else
sells, that's their choice, but if we know it exists, surely our decision to
enquire and take it from there is all the more informed for knowing in the
first place.  So long as people are respectful to others, surely there is
room for sensible advertising of all goods and services applicable to this
community.

That's my take on it, but I don't moderate so will go away and read my book
now! (smile).

hi.

each to his own steve. i subscribe to both services and while audible is
better and more convenient, RNIB could be seen as cost affective if you
don't mind the quality difference. i'm not going to get in to a debate on
list of which is better, there's been enough of that recently and i'm not
advertising for the RNIB or had no intention of doing so on list. i'll
refrain from sending informational posts in future if end users find it an
inconvenience. the last thing we want to do is generate more list traffic.

all the best,

Mo.

Hi,



No, it isn't.  Spend your money on Audible.  Better quality and you
don't have to log in every time you open the app.



All the best

I'd agree jackie, despite all the flaws it is certainly still worth
it.

All the best,

Mo.

Seriously though, it is worth the money if you love reading.
