Book Description:
This Audiofy audiobook chip packs Jane Lapotaire's full three hour reading of 'Pride and Prejudice' 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 in as Jane Lapotaire reads Pride and Prejudice , one of the greatest of all English novels, a finely etched satire about the scatterbrained Mrs. Bennett whose aim in life is to see her five daughters married. All of Jane Austen's characters are rich and varied: proud Mr. Darcy; the pompous Parson; Mr. Collins, who seeks the most advantageous match for himself; good humored Mr. Bingley; and, of course the two eldest Bennett daughters Jane and Elizabeth. Jane Lapotaire's outstanding performances on the stage have won her numerous awards, including a Tony, both on the New York stage and at home in London. She was trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, has worked with The National Theatre Company, the Young Vic/New York, and The Royal Shakespeare Company. She has played numerous television roles for the BBC and has also enjoyed a variety of film roles.
