Abstract

A method of configuring a book for displaying images and playing associated audio content is provided. Audio content is transcoded into an appropriate format and processed so that each portion of the content is allocated to a relevant page in the book. The data fragments are then uploaded and stored to memory housed within the book ready for play back when the book is open at a particular page. The book 101 includes a plurality of pairs of transmitters (201, figure 2) and receivers (202, figure 2) on pages of said book; a processor (203, figure 2); memory (204, figure 2) for audio content; and an audio playback device 107. The book is configured such that the processor identifies any open page of the book by monitoring signals received by the receivers from the transmitters and, if only one page is open, associated audio content relevant to the open page is identified from audio stored in the memory and played on the audio playback device. Audio content may be imported via a USB port.
