This Audiofy audiobook chip packs Christopher Plummer's full 3 hour reading of "The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket" on a tiny memory card. A single Audiofy audiobook chip, hardly larger than a stamp, holds a complete digital audiobook, and saves the last listening position automatically, unlike CDs.
