I honestly don't ...That's very true Seana. I honestly don't see it catching on with most novels. What made the one I read so good was it was a mystery that was almost made spooky by the squeaking door, and creaking floor sound affects, along with creepy music. It made me want to curl up with a blanket to hide under. Other novels however, I could see it just making it distracting or Corney.Glennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107558482848466735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928124090894977100.post-46595819185872767362011-09-12T21:23:06.511-05:002011-09-12T21:23:06.511-05:00Glenna, I spent a few moments describing this new ...Glenna, I spent a few moments describing this new technology to my coworkers today. On the one hand, it sounds great, on the other, it's just one more blow for paper books, and therefore our livelihoods. Oh, well. It's not like there haven't been others.seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928124090894977100.post-40319729618395685922011-09-12T10:15:35.398-05:002011-09-12T10:15:35.398-05:00Sean, thanks.

I might even be able to sneak in a bit of reading or watching Pride and Prejudice at some point.Glennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107558482848466735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928124090894977100.post-53951566271838253912011-09-12T10:13:47.174-05:002011-09-12T10:13:47.174-05:00Seana, the Booktrack thing is interesting. It'...Seana, the Booktrack thing is interesting. It's like an ebook, so you are actually reading the story. And there is an arrow pointing to the line the sound effects are so you know where it is. In the beginning you have to tap where you are as the arrow gets ahead or behind you to update it, but it quickly learns your reading speed and stays pretty close to where you are so you and the sound effect stay pretty close together. Once you have the reading speed set, you can pre-program future stories by putting your reading speed in. I was dubious at first but it was free so I gave it a try, and really liked it.Glennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17107558482848466735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3928124090894977100.post-52475293712532383052011-09-12T10:07:01.110-05:002011-09-12T10:07:01.110-05:00Very good reviews.I Loved AZC, and am def going to...Very good reviews.I Loved AZC, and am def going to give Finder's novel a go.

I forget how many great little asides there are in this thing. <br /><br />I haven't read Finder, and I don't have an Iphone, but the sound effects sound pretty cool, although I don't quite get how they work with the printed page. Or is it more like a radio show?seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.com
