2 THE WORLD S BEST AUDIOBOOK PUBLISHER. WITH THE WORLD S BEST PARTNERSHIPS.

3 A LETTER FROM BOLINDA. It s no secret that I, like millions of people worldwide, am passionate about audiobooks. So it always amazes me when I hear from people who love books and storytelling that they have not or do not listen to audiobooks. When I ask them why, they usually give me one or two reasons. Most of the time, I find that these reasons are in fact, just myths and misunderstandings about audiobooks. Here are some of the most common myths about audiobooks, and why they re just not true. Audiobooks are only for the elderly or blind Traditionally they were, but these days audiobooks are for anyone who wants more time to read from busy mums to entrepreneurs, cyclists to daily commuters. Audiobooks are for the time rich and the time poor. Audiobooks are for people who don t like to read Audiobooks are for people who LOVE books and storytelling and want to read more. Chances are that well-read friend doesn t just rely on print books to get through their reading list, they also listen to audiobooks and read eyes free at every opportunity they can. Audiobooks are hard to follow Audiobooks give you the full mind-theatre experience and enhance your reading enjoyment. They are excellent at transporting you to another place and it won t take long before you are hooked. I can t tell you how many times I ve heard a customer tell me they were so engrossed in the story they were listening to they sat in their car once they got home, waiting for the chapter to finish. Audiobooks are too expensive Priced within $10 of the print book, audiobooks offer great value for money when you think about the production cost of producing a quality recording that offers the full performance experience. Audiobooks are narrated by amateur actors Some of the biggest names in show business have recorded audiobooks, including Kate Winslet, Bill Nighy, Jack Thompson and Miriam Margolyes, and many narrators have become famous just for their work on audiobooks. Audiobooks are hard to sell If the rebuttals above don t give you an idea about the broad appeal of audiobooks and their many benefits, try thinking outside the square about potential audiobook customers some of our biggest markets include truck drivers, miners and busy mums, they are perfect for those who have time on their hands and ideal for those who are generally too busy to read. And remember, we are here to help with expert advice on content, the best marketing campaigns ever, peerless merchandising materials and point of sale support. Join me and listen every day,
