hi gang the library here in castlebar has those pre loaded audio books too.for all intents and urposes the device is like an mp3 with headphones and a remote control to navigate the book. been about 18 months since their introduction in his neck of the boonies so not sure if they have many more titles available.
dont forget however the overdrive project at south dublin libraries where you can download a vast range of audiobooks, music, documentaries and videos. their digital loans are available or up to 3 weeks and you can either burn or transfer most of the items.

These were pre loaded digital audio books. These basicly are similar in size to an ipod with approximatelynine buttons on the front . These buttons are very distinctive and very easily operated even with big fingers. The book takes a triple aa battery and again this can be very easily replaced. The library only recently gotthese books in stock but according to my wife they have a large and variedcollection of them.Definetly the answer to solve the hassle of carrying large Discmans around.Regards.
