<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">We have recorded using Ipads. We experimented using Kindles, Nooks and Ipads, and the Ipad worked best. However, the newer Kindles would probably work as well. We found that the recording works great; there are
no more page turn noises; the narrators don’t move their heads around as much, so sound levels are more consistent, and most volunteers like them better than print books. However, there are issues.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Here, we can’t let the volunteers take the Ipads home, so they have to take the print book home to pre-read. And the can mark up the book with notes and pronunciations, etc; that is harder to do with the tablet.
It is also a little more difficult to find the mistake when doing corrections.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Also, many of the books we record are not available as ebooks, and we have an issue with our purchasing process. So for now, we are doing mostly print books, but hope to resolve some issues and begin to use the
tablets again.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
