The Playaway doesn’t require a separate player – it comes ready to listen. No multiple CDs and no downloads – one entire unabridged story in a compact unit. Just pop in one AAA battery and a set of earphones, press ‘play’ and listen straight away.
The Playaway is smaller than a pack of cards – so you can fit a whole book in your pocket. Great for travelling. It has digital quality sound and up to 80 hours of playing time. The Playaway can be used with most headphones, speakers and car adaptors. The time remaining and battery level will display on the LCD screen.
No technical knowledge is needed – Playaway’s friendly features mean you can bookmark you favourite points and control the speed of the narrator’s voice. It even remembers your place when it’s turned off.
So what titles can you get on Playaway? How about Down Under by Bill Bryson or Rumpole for the defence by John Mortimer. There's Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer and Sense & Sensibility by Jane Austen. Check out the full list of titles and reserve one today!

Audio books are here to stay . I am in love with them . Not only its interesting to hear voices , you can enjoy them while moving. I hear audio books all the time in my car . One of my friend is so crazy about audio books . He takes long routes to get back to his home . You can find some cheaper audio book library online .
i think that finding them online is much more expensive the time it takes and the download costs. the libraries audio book collection is getting bigger and bigger, i don't need anything else
@ Anonymous: You can download free audiobooks from sites such as Librivox and Project Gutenberg. These are mainly classics as they need to be in the public domain (out of copyright). You're right, however, they are large downloads and aren't appropriate for everyone, particularly those with slow Internet connections or download limits.
