If you subscribe to Discovery Education, they have a few high- interest books like the Hunger Games and Chasing Lincoln's Killer, and all the classics. . . . . . . I learned in my curriculum class about an iPad app for downloading free audio books.  [] id311507490?mt=8. You can get the app on android, too. The app and the books are free, but they're mostly classics, and I don't know how many appeal to Middle Schoolers.

There's also www.audible.com, which has just about anything, but at a cost. . . . . . . ..

I have been reading about people who use iTunes for this, something I am also looking into. One limitation seems to be that there are no mechanisms for purchasing multiple copies of a book at this time, so <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I'm not sure how you would scale up. I would be VERY interested in <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">hearing any other answers you receive, if you don't mind sharing. <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">. . . . . . <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We do have some PLayaways, but not every title is available in this <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">format. And with Playaways, if the device is broken or lost you've also <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">lost the content. I'd rather have the audiobook and a separate device to <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">avoid this problem. <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I've also purchased CDs and CD PLayers for grade level required <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">titles for <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">our struggling readers. IPods and other MP3 players seem too small <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">for my <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">elementary students - they loose chapter books, never mind giving them a <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">tiny device so I'd love to see what others are using. <span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">.. . . . . . ..
