Well, seems that the read-along feature is up on the site. I just checked out the E.T. read-along. Seriously, I think this is an excellent addition to the site that really adds a lot to the nostalgia theme that this site is going for. I love the whole flash format used to bring the whole experience of listening to the tape while reading the actual book.

What are your thoughts on the Read-alongs on the site?

Just noticed it, but didn't try yet due to having to download. Not even sure what it is.

EDIT:

Oh wow, just looked at the BttF, very cool. Who did this? Must have took a lot of work to put the movies in novel format!

A fellow at www.readalongadventures.com put these together. But he hasn't done any work on adding to the collection in some years.

I can't really do them at work, and don't get much computer time at home. But I am very eager to check them out someday.

I sent the guys a message reminding them that we had hoped to make them playable in a users browser, not download them.

To clarify - can't do em at work because of sound. But, I am glad you are on things so well!

Moudy pointed out to me that there is no way to make the Read-Alongs simply play in a browser since the files themselves are .exe (executable files) and not just Flash files.
