One of my favorite multi-tasking activities is to listen to books while doing other things. Washington-Centerville Public Library has a robust collection of books on CD, downloadable eBooks for your iPod or other mp3 player, as well as a handy little audio option called Playaway.
Playaway is a little techier than a book on CD, but less technologically intimidating that downloading a book to your mp3 player. About the size of a deck of cards, this little device is akin to an mp3 player that already has a book downloaded to it. No muss, no fuss. Simply plug some headphones into the Playaway and press play. You are off and running while listening to your audiobook. With only five buttons (play, pause, rewind, fast forward and volume) this little device couldn’t be easier.
So the next time you are faced with a weekend of chores looming large, brighten up the task by checking out a Playaway.
