Playaway - The one-book audiobook players smartphones couldn't kill

I just managed to get this video in the bag before the weekend. It took longer than I anticipated because I ended up reshooting my first day’s work after I discovered that what I had assumed was retrotech, was in fact still a current product - seemingly in the face of all logic.

This revelation ended up making this into a far better and (for me) a more interesting video. Hope you like it. Have a great weekend.

UPDATE: A re-edit was necessary to minimise verbose storytelling (ironically) whilst also elaborating on the current Playaway pricing model.

This new shorter more businesslike version is now the one embedded and linked to above. The original edit with added waffling can still be found here https://youtu.be/Brtfu1Dsc40 - but this version will remain just for Patrons.

Fun look at this format. It used to be offered at my local library here in NY and I remember taking one out just to play around with it. I always wondered about the pricing for producing something like this.

Someone locally has a bunch of these cheap and I found the AMRWB coding stuff I did in 2005 so I bought a few just now. I likely still have the originals packed-up in NZ. Thanks for reminding me these existed (exist) a rainy-day rip and reload to come.
