(813 posts)with a technology mix around for the nook. Came out certainly for the nook tablet about a year and a half ago, maybe for the nook color before that. But it was meant more as enhancement than core to the story, I think. It was marketed particularly at grandparents for sharing books with the grandkids--it allows for someone to record the story in sync with the pages so that the kid can look and listen to the book later on.
Not being around children of such an age any more (or again), we pretty much ignored that aspect of it. I like the idea of it, though. When raising the kids, we not only read aloud at bedtime until they were in middle school, but I recorded many cassette tapes of their favorite stories for after the lights got turned off.
Shockingly, all three are committed audio book listeners as adults
