I have a question. I was told that posting recordings of whole books is a copy right issue. What is your knowledge on this issue? This goes with a grant that I got for iPods and fluency (2 iPods, 4 Nanos, 6 mics, & 3 cameras for taking pics of the book covers - Second generation Nanos now have the ability to record.). My kids recorded their first reading and their last, with the intention that the last be posted on the web. I will be posting to an intranet, but, after being told about the copy right, will not post on the web. Thanks, Julie
