Book Description:
This Audiofy audiobook chip packs Christopher Reeve's full 2.5 hour reading of 'The Great Gatsby' on a tiny memory card. A single Audiofy audiobook chip, hardly larger than a stamp, holds a complete digital audiobook, and saves the last listening position automatically, unlike CDs. With an SD memory card slot or low cost adapter like those for digital cameras this Audiofy audiobook chip can be played on Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh desktop computers or laptops (Microsoft Windows XP/2000/Me/98, or Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9 and above) or transferred to Apple iPod media players. Audiobook chips also move seamlessly to most Palm OS and Pocket PC handheld PDAs with SD expansion slots, as well as Treo and Windows Mobile 'smartphones' (Palm OS 5.2 or Windows Mobile 2002 and above)... Listen to Christopher Reeve's masterful performance in his reading of F. Scott Fitzgerald's exemplary novel of the Jazz Age. The story of the fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his love for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan, of lavish parties in West Egg, Long Island, at a time when, The New York Times remarked, 'gin was the national drink and sex the national obsession.' It is an exquisitely crafted tale of America in the 1920s that resonates with the power of myth. While the late Christopher Reeve is best known for his outstanding portrayal of Superman, his far ranging talent included roles in theatre, on and off Broadway, on television and film. His television work included 'The Road to Avonlea' to 'Anna Karenina.' His films included 'Superman,' 'Deathtrap,' 'The Bostonians,' 'Switching Channels' and 'Morning Glory.'
