Playaway: Listen while you work, or play, or travel, or wait

The newest technology in audiobooks is a system called Playaway. Essentially it is a small — think tic-tac box–electronic gadget that has an entire book stored in its memory. Just plug in your own earphones and put the gadget in your pocket and you’re ready to listen while you work, travel, wait in line, do the dishes — whatever. Our circulation director, Ellen, is finding them perfect to listen to as she does her chores at home. With two busy children, it’s hard to fit in time to read, so this way she can listen to new books.

The easiest way to see which titles are available in playaway format is to search in iBistro by typing in playaway.
