*What’s a Playaway?
A Playaway is a preloaded digital audiobook. When you receive your Playaway, all you have to do is press play to start listening immediately – there is no need for a separate player, and it comes with earbuds and a battery to make it play.

What makes Playaway unique?
A Playaway weighs only 2 ounces and can easily fit in a pocket for ultimate portability and multitasking. They come with an automatic bookmark function that remembers where you left off. Playaways have a universal headphone jack that can be used with a number of mobility accessories including portable speakers, FM transmitters, and audio cables to listen in virtually any environment.
We are adding new Playaways to our collection all the time, so try one out today, or make a suggestion for a specific title to one of our staff.
