Playaways

I love audiobooks.  My library buys audiobooks on Playaways.  What I like about Playaways is that they are attractive to the students since they are similar to their iPods, many students don't even have CD players, and I don't have to keep track of the CDs.  However, the batteries die quickly and frequently, and, most importantly, there is very little selection.  I read all these reviews for new audiobooks and Playaway has hardly any.  I'd like to get more audiobooks, but if I only buy Playaways, I have very little to choose from.  I wish more YA books would get produced on Playaway, especially since I see that as one of the best ways of getting students into audiobooks.  Actually, downloading it from iTunes is probably better, but then they have to pay for it.
