Amazon is also boosting its Audible platformThis not only implies that the service has new products or new prices, but also new paths. Thus, it will not only limit itself to offering audiobooks from other companies but also will be dedicated to creating their own audiobooks.
Therefore Audible and Amazon have joined Bloomsbury and the UK National Archive to create audio files on important documents and letters in the last two centuries.
Audible will create a series of audios that will be available through this popular service. These audios will contain letters that Churchill himself wrote to ask the United States for help, documents written by British police on the Jack the Ripper case or the comments of the time about the sinking of the Titanic. Historical moments that will be narrated and told by the most famous people of the moment, contributing their voice to these audios.
Audiobooks created by Audible will recreate real events that were fictitious as Jack the Ripper
In themselves they are not great audios nor will they be a variation of formats of great editorial sales but it is a great step towards the creation of a new publishing label by Amazon and Audible that focuses on audiobooks.
It seems that audiobooks are in fashion, a format that is not far from ebooks, although it does offer the possibility of being able to be played anywhere without depending on a device, something that does not happen with the ebook. In any case, it seems that Amazon does not want to miss the train of fashion and Audible and these audiobooks will not be the only products that Bezos' company has on the format, a format that is currently making more money than the ebook market. However Will this trend become the norm? What news will Audible bring?
