Reed's Almanac download code sought.

[Ladybirdgaffcutter]

If you have bought a paper hard copy of the 2019 Reeds, they will have given you a download code, to put it on a computer as well.
If you don't want to download the almanac onto a computer, but just to use the book, I will make an RNLI donation if you give the download details to me.
No harm in asking.. I hope this is within the rules, thanks.

The Reeds content is expensive to compile, validate and publish. Don’t be a cheapskate. If you want to use it then buy a copy to support the authors and publishers.

And hardly good form to post on a publication funded website a request to bend the rules on publishing copyright.

Really? Personally I don't give a monkey's about further swelling the coffers of large international corporations, I would rather give some money to the RNLI.
But each to their own.

I have it.
Send me £37.83 and I will send you the code and forward the £37.83 to the RNLI.

Would you like to be paid for whatever it is you do under the same terms? Those big, bad international corps employ people in order to provide the goods or service you value so much that you're prepared to steal them under the virtue-signalling ruse of being charitable.
How about just paying for what you want and giving some money to the RNLI?

Or do what I do which is subscribe. It’s only £32.50 on subscription with free postage.

Ah - another race to the bottom.?

I buy a Reeds every seven years (as the majority of the data is static) and then use annual Dover tide tables to do all my tidal calculations.

The Reeds price include one paper copy and one digital copy. I don't see anything wrong with their being in different hands.

Tried to edit my post and it got deleted!
Where is the code as I have been given the channel version for Christmas. If it was on the wrapper holding the almanac and marina guide together I've binned that.

A certain irony there as the RNLI almost have more money than they know what to do with.

You are indeed being a cheapskate. So if we all did that, and Reeds went out of business and you couldn't get your info any more, would you be happy with that? I'd be amazed if somewhere in the licence agreement there wasn't a clause saying that the digital copy was only available to the original purchaser anyway.

Stop being a tightwad. If you can afford to run a boat you can afford to support the business that gives you the info to be able to sail it safely!

Very properly said.

I don't have my 2019 Reeds to hand to check but are you sure it isn't a (not particularly exciting) discount on the digital version rather than a free copy?

Dunno. I've not bought an almanac of any sort since the West of Scotland Cruising Almanac went out of production in, I think, 1992. I find that a £1 book of tide tables does just fine.
