The Echo Project features multimedia content for Khalid Hosseini's And the Mountains Echoed

A co-worker of mine came across this site and, since we have so recently read the book, I thought I'd share it. I've noodled around a bit with it, but the content is related to pages. The idea is that you'll read a page of text and go to that corresponding page to see maps, images, videos, and hear audio of music and reading excerpts, etc.

Since my Kindle shows only location numbers and not pages, I'm a bit in the dark. Need to write to Penguin for them to consider a way to meet the needs of ebook readers.

Hope you enjoy it!

PS Also wanted to remind you to save the date for Geraldine Page, who will be speaking at UT Arlington on March 24. Will give more details at the next meeting.
