If you happen to subscribe to School Library Journal, Joanna, I reviewed Playaways in this month's test drive column. www.slj.com While I don't have time for a full redux, I liked them and think they're the most sensible way to deliver audiobooks in many school settings. The catalog decent and growing. Frankly, I have yet to see any source that comes close being satisfying in terms of offering up newer titles for tweens and teens, and they're as good or better than most alternatives I've had the chance to explore. Has anyone else in LM_NETland found a one-stop shop for k-12 audiobooks?

My principal is interested and I would love some feedback from people using them. Are they reliable? How is the selection of audiobooks? Are they cost effective? If anyone is using them I would love comments.
