Hi Christine,
I have a feeling though that the gap between the cost of rent and owned
machine subscriptions is going to get wider as the years go on. So
eventually, they will discourage you from renting. At first, the gap =
was 10
quid, now it is 20. Personally, I prefer to buy my own machines. Daisy
machines are pretty reliable, and if you get the Wave as Terry suggests, =
the
batteries are user replacable anyway.
All the best

ha ha ha ha Thanks for the maths on that one, and the reminder that all
repairs etc are covered by the talking book services, sound a good deal
doesn't it? I had to send mine to get new batteries and they replaced =

iI know that if anything goes wrong with it they will replace it =

again for me. Ok, I understand, talking books is a very accessable and =
good
service, so I shall stick to loaning the machines and pay the extra =

So in 10/12 years you will break even on the capital outlay of the =
player
you bought. Is it likely they will last that long? In my view not very
likely so buying a player will cost more than renting one from the RNIB

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
