Book Description:
This Audiofy audiobook chip packs Harry Burton's full 2.5 hour reading of 'Around the World in 80 Days' 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)... To take on the bet to go around the world in eighty days, faster than anyone had gone before was madness. If Phileas Fogg missed a single connection he would lose a fortune. Phileas Fogg was an eccentric Englishman who lived a quiet ordered life and believed that, with technology and planning, nothing was unforseeable. But he could not plan for the ebullient nature of his French servant, Passepartout, for the adventures that crop up on their journey and for the totally unexpected collision with romance. The humour and freshness of Verne's writing vivid dispatches from a newly accessible world make 'Around The World In Eighty Days' ideal as an audiobook.
