    It's a growing market and one worth having a look into. A friend of mine publishes almost exclusively as audiobooks and has translated versions in a few languages (Russian, Japanese, Spanish) as well as the default English since that's where the majority of her customers are from.

    If you publish an audiobook of good audio quality with a decent story and you put the effort into your marketing there's no reason you can't do well. I'm exploring it as an option since I'd like to make my work more accessible to the sight-impaired/blind community as well. Whatever you do, research first. Don't just jump in, make one and then be surprised when it doesn't sell.

    I don't know. As far as I remember, the moment the person who said that said it, I clicked Back.

    I don't listen to audiobooks, period.

    So for me, it would be a no because... Well, I don't listen to any sort of audiobooks.
