I’m not really sure… I have a hard time getting into audiobooks, so I usually don’t look at them. It sounds like a very cool idea, though!

This looks great for people who like to listen to audiobooks. I will be happy if my library has something other than Nora Roberts and Sidney Sheldon and ofcourse Mills and Boon’s

I haven’t heard of these before. I agree with Dani’s point about scratched discs – I have had that happen before with library audiobooks.

I remember when Playaway tried to market those pre-loads to the general public. I thought it was a wasteful single-use device. I think that marketing them to libraries and other groups where they will be passed around is a much better idea. I wish my library had them because I hate when I get to disc 3 of an audiobook from the library only to find that it is scratched.

I like them because I don’t have to remember to delete them from my ipod or mess at all, they are way cool…do check them out!
