The audiobook company, Libro.fm has partnered with ABA to distribute audiobooks through the association's bookstores. ABA is the English acronym for the American Booksellers Association, one of the most important associations in the publishing world and which has partners throughout the country.
This union will allow American booksellers to have and offer your customers audiobooks in good condition, at least have a wide catalog and without problems for users of these formats.
Libro.fm was born during this year and In a short time, more than 100 bookstores offer their products. Libro.fm audiobooks are very interesting because they do not offer any drm in their products so any bookstore or business can make use of it and it can even be played on any device that we want.
The association of both institutions will materialize first in the online store that ABA has enabled, later it will be extended to ABA member bookstores that want such a product.
Libro.fm will provide ABA members with DRM-free audiobooks
Although it seems a timid commercial union, the truth is that great things are expected from such a union. ABA is one of the most important associations in terms of the publishing market in the United States is concerned and has many clients. This means that Libro.fm will be the audiobook provider for many American users who increasingly want to use audiobooks. A format that is succeeding, as in its time happened with the ebook.
The truth is that I think we will hear the name of Libro.fm more often, since normally ABA partner companies are usually quite successful. This happened years ago with Kobo, a young Canadian company at that time and today it is one of the largest sellers of ebooks and ereaders worldwide. Will the same happen with Libro.fm? What do you think?
