Do you like having text read to you? Many people have reasons for wanting words on a screen also play a recording. Some people who are learning to read or who have other learning curve needs do enjoy such features.
The audiobook and ebook craze has just begun, and there are hundreds of devices that are trying to provide access to audio and text.
Gale Virtual Reference Library which WCCLS provices, can be an app on your device, and it finds your location as long as GPS is on. If all your settings are a go, then you can click Listen in any of your search results and hear the text read along as you read.
Gale Virtual Reference Library is a huge reference shelf of books and encyclopedias.
You have to have other apps to make it work. You have to have Adobe Flash Player. By the way if you have a Galaxy 7, which is what I used to try this on, it might be set up so that it can't shop in any place other than Google Play. If that happens just change those settings -- Go to Settings. There are settings called Personal Settings, go under Security. then go under Device Administration. Then under that is Unknown Sources. Just put the check box into that setting and enable access to apps that are elsewhere on the web. Because Adobe Flash Player (on today 4-11-13) was not Google Play app store material.
