"Today's adolescents belong to the iGeneration," says Scott Williams, CEO of Recorded Books. "They desire content immediately at their fingertips and are skilled at multitasking. With One-Click Audio, students can search and download directly to their media player or computer. Audio support is an important element of fluency strategies for struggling readers, and now students have that extra support at their expediency."

Each month seven new titles are added to the collection, and there are an additional 130 titles available for individual purchase. This extensive listing includes contemporary works by authors such as Anthony Horowitz, Margaret Peterson Haddix, Megan McDonald, Walter Dean Myers and classics from Mark Twain, William Shakespeare, Jack London and much more. Several titles are available for multiple users and supplement required reading for classroom curriculum.

One-Click Audio is available through yearly subscription plans. Its NetLibrary Media Center features an easy-to-use interface with streamlined navigation. Fast downloads, automatic software updates and support for a wide range of portable devices provide an unique user experience.
