Hi Roger. It’s also worth adding at this point that, if you’re a member of the RNIB Connect group here in the UK, you can get up to a 10% discount on purchases from RNIB. This is something I plan to take advantage of next year, as a registered volunteer for RNiB’s “Technology For Life”team. I’m also going to be doing some remote volunteer work for them, via their helpline. That works by the customer in need of help calling RNIB, and they are connected to the most appropriate available volunteer with the skills to help the customer. Of course, this depends on which volunteers are available at the time. Once the person at RNIB’s HQ matches up the customer with the volunteer, then RNIB calls that volunteer and pipes the customer through to them. So no personal data is swapped between the two parties save Christian names.

Yes, indeed, it is a shame that they’ve increased the prices. But having had one on loan for the last couple of months, I can recommend the Orbit as an alternative option for those on a low budget. There are, of course, always drawbacks wen one pays for the cheapest option. For instance, the Orbit Reader 20 has no routing keys, so it’s difficult to put the cursor on a precise spot. One thing I have discovered which annoys me is that if you’re reading something, and a Bluetooth® connection is established with a regular device using the Orbit as a display, the mode jumps to Bluetooth® whether you want it too or not.

In the next few years it will be interesting to see how developments take place, it is a pity that there has been such a price increase of the Orbit Reader and again this could place it beyond what some can afford to pay.
