[Michlib-l] alternative audio formats advice requested

[Rebecca Stout]

Hello everyone,
I have some Friends of the Library money to spend and am looking at using
it to expand our children's audio collection into more formats than just
CDs. So far I've looked into Vox Books, Wonderbooks, Playaways, Tonies, and
Yotos. Before spending thousands of dollars, I'd love to get some
real-world info.
If you have any of these in your collection, what do I need to know?
Durability? Cost? Storage? Any additional accessories? Popularity?
Functionality? Charging procedures? Value? Hassles? Buy from the company or
through a different vendor? Is there another similar product I have
overlooked? etc.
I would appreciate any testimonials, horror stories, or assorted advice.
Thank you!
Rebecca Stout
