Re: Electronic books (UNCLASSIFIED)

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED=20
Caveats: NONE

Also on the worth watching is Audible.com's new kids site. While it is
pay to play and geared to parents and children they are working with RIF
to develop free educator resources.

"Newark-based Audible.com, the largest provider of downloadable audio
books, yesterday launched its AudibleKids.com division at the North Star
Academy in Newark. Dozens of middle-school students got a free Zen Stone
Plus MP3 player to download some of the 4,000-plus titles on the new
website. Audible has been very successful: Amazon just bought the
company for $300 million."
