Audiobooks on Playaway

Lately, I have been noticing that more titles are available on Playaway. If you’ve never heard of Playaway, it is a small device that fits in the palm of your hand and comes preloaded with one title. I decided to give it a try and see if it’s any better than my old CD Walkman. It turned out to be so much easier to use. I’m a runner so this has been working out perfectly for me. It’s really light so it is easy to hold or throw in a pocket.

I would recommend this for anyone who likes audiobooks but is looking for a more convenient way to listen. With Playaway, you don’t have to change a disc or go through the trouble of downloading to an MP3 player. When I got my Playaway, I noticed that it came with a battery, earphones and a lanyard. I personally do not care for lanyards (I prefer to just hold it or put it in a pocket) but I could see this being great for kids who are not always very careful with their things.

I think this would be a great alternative to MP3 players. Playaways are about the size of an MP3 player but they’re already ready to go, you don’t have to download anything. And you don’t have to deal with a pile of CDs, the whole book is on one Playaway. So if you are looking for the most convenient way to listen to audiobooks, Playaway is the way to go!
