Playaway

The Nashville Library is offering Playaways - little tiny self-contained 'mp3 players' with a digital story preloaded on the box.

According to the library website, "Playaway gives listeners the option of placing digital bookmarks and controlling the speed of a narrator’s voice, all while easily moving both forward and back through audiobook selections that can range from six to twenty-four hours. Additionally, Playaway has a universal headphone jack that works with almost any type of headphone or mobility accessory." I picked up two today - a Grisham novel for me and Charlotte's web for my 5-yr old. I'm looking forward to trying them this week.
