Audiobook Sales Up for 10th Straight Year (Jun 8, 2022)

fwiw
I still like to hold the book in my hands, call me old school.
I usually go on an hour long walk every day.
I usually listen to an audio book during that walk. They are better than podcasts. I can usually link the audio book to my kindle and pick up the story and read when I want.
Also...you can get audio books from the “Libby” app.
If you haven’t looked at the Libby App, you are missing out. It links to your library and you can get books, audio books, and just about any magazine you might want to read....for free.
Well worth the five minutes to set up.
Kamala Harris’ book “107 Days” is already on youtube, free. Not saying you should go listen, I heard enough to convince me it’s a waste of time.
Point is, before you buy, see if it’s free somewhere. It probably is.
I have the library free cloud library free download from local library but most is new stuff. Like the swill found in most public libraries.
I now use Blackstone audio DOWNPOUR. I recommend it highly.
Tremendous variety. And their daily 3.99 specials are wonderful. Have Sowell and many histories. For some reason I only listen to men’s voices comfortably. Plenty of guys.
Good to know. Quite honestly, looking at my royalty statements, the big “boom” everyone expected in audio 10 years ago never showed up. It got to about 13% of my sales, then hit a plateau.
So I hope it goes up more.
