Seems a bit of a waste in electronics? If I'm understanding this correctly, you have to buy a new player for each set of audio books? ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Russell" <david.russell8@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

I wrote about this on this list a month or so ago. I have not seen one though so cannot review the machine. I think amazon were selling them forjust over ten pounds. I am almost certain they were abridged, which puts meoff rather.

Cheers, From Ray I can be contacted off-list at: mailto:ray-48@xxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- mary Hi, Has any one on the list used the following? Audiobooks on the move! This is a new, portable way to listen to audio books - just plug and play! Macmillan Digital Audio are delighted to introduce a brand new format for audio book lovers everywhere. Word Play is an incredibly light and portable pre-loaded player which means you can 'plug and play' your favourite audiobooks anywhere in the world. The player runs off a standard AAA battery so they are easily re-chargeable and they come with a free set of headphones so you can start listening to your audio books straight away. The James Herbert collection of books was almost twenty pounds but they had most of his really well known ones on this one unit. If anyone has used one, a description would be good. I can see it being a good idea for people who do not like downloading books. I didn't think it was a bad price either considering how many books were there. I wondered how easy it would be for a blind person to navigate between books.
