SOLON, OH (March 11, 2014) – For the first time since its launch, the Playaway® all-in-one audiobook has been redesigned, giving listeners the simple, pre-loaded experience they already love with new features that will allow them to go more places – even into the dark.

The updated product is the result of extensive customer feedback and user testing, and includes many notable enhancements, such as a backlit LCD screen that is three times larger than the current version. This change serves as the inspiration for the “LIGHT” launch campaign and will help listeners more easily access content day and night, regardless of surrounding light levels. The updated screen also provides key listener information including a book progress bar, chapter status and a battery life indicator – improving the overall user experience.

Keeping with the theme of enhanced product mobility, the buttons are now easily recognizable by touch and the main buttons are reserved for singular functionality. These updates go a long way towards making Playaway easier to navigate without visual interaction, a quality extremely important for people on-the-go.
The updated device closely mirrors the well-known wedge shape of Playaway, and maintains all of the signature features listeners love, such as High Definition audio, a universal auxiliary jack, five narration speeds, and automatic bookmarking.
“This is an important time in the evolution of the Playaway brand and a great opportunity to improve the user experience for both librarians and patrons,” comments Nancy Stickney, VP, Playaway Products Group. “Playaway LIGHT takes what already is the best way to listen to an audiobook, unplugged and uninterrupted, and makes it even better.”
To celebrate the launch, Findaway World is giving away a grand prize trip for two to the ALA Annual Conference in Las Vegas and $50,000 in Playaway collections. For your chance to win or to learn more about the product visit https://my.playaway.com/.
My Experience: I was sent a Playaway All-in-One Audiobook featuring Cifford the Big Red Dog  and other Clifford Stories to review. My son, Braxton, is seven years old and a huge fan of Cifford the Big Red Dog. Braxton absolutely loves listening to his Playaway Audiobook. It is perfect for him to listen to at bedtime to help him fall asleep, it is also perfect for long car trips.  This will really come in handy for when we go camping, especially if we have some rain.
