Book Description:
This Audiofy audiobook chip packs George Vafiadis and Grover Gardner's full 15 hour reading of early American political thought 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 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)... The America's Past Collection contains the full, unabridged narrations of the following great works: Common Sense by Thomas Paine, The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, Lincoln's Prose: Major Works by a Great American Writer, and Lincoln's Letters: The Private Man and the Warrior. Common Sense: The work that George Washington said helped spark the Revolutionary War. 'Well orated by reader George Vafiadis. The language and sentiment are not as outmoded as some listeners might expect and it definitely feels patriotic to hear again the fundamentals of America's beginnings.' KLIATT Magazine. The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin: The story of a remarkable scientist, statesman and diplomat. Lincoln's Prose Speeches, Essays, and other writings: 'This superbly narrated production has an immediacy that cannot be found in biographies or history books.' The Veterans View. Lincoln's Letters: Lincoln comes alive through the reading of his letters. 'AUDIO BEST OF THE YEAR' Publishers Weekly. 'The letters format, with its natural brevity and personal emotion, proves itself a natural for audio adaptation.' Publishers Weekly.
