The Playaway

While at Borders at San Ramon I found some audio books. They were slightly different from CDs or cassettes - because they came with their own player. One book - one player. Didn't say if you could reload them after you've finished the book. The advertising blurb: "Enjoy digital sound from a lightweight player with eight simple buttons. Wear it around your neck or stick it in your pocket. From novels to biographies, languages to business best sellers, Playaway comes already loaded with your favorite content."
Everything's included - and you can also get ideas from their website on sharing each title when you're done. I'm not sure it's for me - but it will be interesting to see how long it takes before it hits Australian shores - and how the approx $US50.00 per title translates into Aussie currency.
