Kids my age watched "Sesame Street" and "Reading Rainbow" to foster our love for reading; Audible Kids has launched a new website to inspire literacy in the iPod generation.
The Audible Kids website lets parents--and kids--create profiles and browse audiobooks. They can listen to previews of each book before downloading them and syncing them with an MP3 player.
