I chose Andersen's Fairy Tales. Special tools include printing, translating the text (very cool!), I viewed this using Arabic (such a beautiful alphabet), as well as the Norwegian language (because I'm Norwegian and thought it would be fun!) :) You may also choose to down load the e-book, e-mail sections, hear the text read aloud, and save to your research files.
This would be very valuable for our patrons who can not speak English, or who are trying to learn English, as they could either translate the text, or listen aloud and follow along with the words as the story is being read. Especially children who can not speak English, or are unable to read yet.
We have heard from teachers who think it's great that the classics are included here. Because of the links to extra information, it's like having built-in literary criticism! Thanks for your comments.
