From: ArthurP on 18 May 2008 11:28 Greetings: We are are an Ottawa based company that has developed a unique on line audio book service. Now this is not your typical audio book service such as Audible or Amazon. This system was developed so that it is easily used by an 85 year old shut in, actually my mother, with little or no computer experience. It does not require physical access to any of the book CDs nor does it require the user to manage any files on the hard disk to make sure that they all ways have enough room for required book files. All books are stored on our central server, with the card catalog accessible using any web browser. To play a book all you do is search the card catalog, find the book you want then drag and drop its image into the custom AudioPod player then select the play button. The AudioPod player takes care of every thing else and the book starts to play in seconds. The book can be stopped at any time and the system will remember where you were. This allows you to have several books on the go at any one time. This is an ideal system for use by care givers so that the ones they care about can again enjoy the pleasure of books. A utility is also provided that enables the books segments to be loaded on to portable MP3 players. For further information, including the original Ottawa Citizen article please visit us at http://www.audiopod.ca . If you feel that this would be of any use to your members please pass this information on to them.
