Audio Book and E Reader Devices

The Christmas shopping season is in full gear and we just wanted to put out a reminder to those patrons who are considering purchasing devices to access our downloadable material on WV Deli. Not all devices are compatible. There is a link to a list of compatible and incompatible devices on the WV Deli website which can be reached from our home page. I have also linked the list from the title of this post. Not only are the compatible devices listed, but the list price of each is given as well as specifications, compatible formats, and links to the web pages of the device. Although not every device that is compatible is listed, it gives a good overview of what is available and the features of each device.
