It is powered by recharging via USB, making it incredibly handy and saving a fortune on batteries. It has only 4 buttons on the front, plus an on/off button and a socket for headphones! When listening to audio books on the go, or even when using a book, your child doesn't need to be distracted - or interrupt the rest of the family. She also collects random pop culture trivia, and dreams of winning the lotto someday.Because the LeapReader talks to you, it's incredibly simple to use and any child (or parent) can get to grips with it instantly. In her (non-existent) spare time, Laarni enjoys watching sci-fi and procedural dramas, reading, jewelry-making, baking, and hanging out with her family. Why she didn?t pursue that particular career path is a story best told over shots of tequila. Laarni earned a Master?s Degree in Radio and Television from San Francisco State University. Over the years, she has taken several positions, usually within the realm of Hardware, including Associate Editor, Section Editor, PCMag Labs Director, and a brief stint as Reviews Editor for the Consumer Electronics team. Laarni started her career with PC Magazine in 2000 as a staff editor for the Network Infrastructure team. She is in charge of reviewing and testing desktops, laptops, netbooks, monitors, external hard drives, components (such as CPUs and graphics card), and peripheral devices, as well as keeping a motley group of lead analysts happy. Laarni Almendrala Ragaza is the Managing Editor for the Hardware team. It be available in July and will retail for $49.99. The LeapReader system will ship with a sample book and three free apps. The LeapReader pen has 256MB of memory, which can hold audio for up to 40 books or 175 songs. Once you connect the pen to your PC, you can download more games, songs, and apps via the Leap Center program. In a nice twist, you can also charge the pen, as it comes with rechargeable batteries. On the other side of the pen is the USB port, which you can use to connect the device to a PC. The power button is located just above the control panel. The media control panels lights up in different colors, depending on the activity. ![]() At the top is a jack for a headphone, while the media control panel resides along one side. The LeapReader resembles a large chunky pen. The pen won't work on other paper or surfaces (a boon if you happen to have little ones who like to write on everything). The Writing Paper comes in Learn-to-Write sets, which has guides for young users to form letters and words. Users can use the pen with special LeapFrog Writing Paper, which shows the letters and words as they are written with the pen. The newest innovation in the LeapReader pen is the addition of writing functionality. The LeapReader pen can also be used with other items in the LeapReader library, including maps, flash cards, book sets, and audio books. A user passes the pen over the words and the pen sounds out the letters, words, and phrases. The pen has a sensor at the end that "reads" the words on LeapReader books. Like the Tag, the LeapReader is essentially an electronic pen device that is used with books in the LeapReader library (it's also backward-compatible with books in the Tag Reader library). LeapReader, targeted to 4-to-8 year olds, is essentially a revamp of LeapFrog's Tag Reading System, which the company will continue to make until the summer. With that in mind, LeapFrog today unveiled the LeapReader, its new reading and writing learning system. Reading and writing are fundamental to a better future for young children.
