The Bottom Line I love searching Epinion's Book section and would find a dedicated sub-section for Audio Books a real benefit. This would help me identify and source new Audio Books.
I am an avid Audio Book listener, to the point of addiction. I have a database that contains titles, authors, readers and content information on over 1,000 Audio Books. I wrote Epinions approximately 2 months ago asking why there was not an Audio Book Section setup in the web site. I have not heard any response and I have just checked out the site and received the same search results. I used Audio Books, I got a search result of 95 titles. The 95 titles does not represent anywhere near what is available in the North American market. I also searched using the following terms; Spoken Word, Talking Books and Recorded Books. None of these produced Audio Book results. Here is why I think this is a real opportunity for Epinions Web Site users and sellers. The following is a small and partial list of the number of Audio Book Titles produced and available for sale in North America: Audio Renaissance . Titles available for sale 250 Bantam Doubleday .. Titles available for sale - 400 Blackstone Audio Books . Titles available for sale - 1,400 Brilliance Audio Books . Titles available for sale - 400 Harper Collins Titles available for sale - 500 Penguin Audio Books ... Titles available for sale - 200 Random House .. Titles available for sale - 450 Recorded Books Titles available for sale - 1,700 Simon and Schuster .. Titles available for sale - 800 Total Titles available for sale .. 6,100 I thought the above would be of interest to Audio Book listeners. I know I would appreciate and find an Audio Book sub-section in Books helpful and interesting. Apparently, the Audio Book market is growing and substantial in size, over $3 billion dollars a year. |
