I found The Mayflower by Philbrick available for Kindle and at Playaways. Rather astounded at the costs. Not sure I'm understanding the products, but it seems one shells out $350ish for a Kindle player with Amazon and then the book is relatively inexpensive at $9.99 (make up outlay after 15 books?), and Playaways was a whopping $114 for what I'm not sure, maybe you get to keep the player?
I think it would be kind of neat in the future for libraries to do the following:
1) Digitally record all of their programs and concerts and then offer them for sale through the Friends online;
2) Offer readings of writings from special collections, local history museums and historical societies;
3) Begin to offer classes to educate people about the new formats
If libraries converted to this format or even offered it, the price of equipment would have to come down considerably. Perhaps individuals would have a purchase account and libraries would do the ordering.
