Audiobook publishing continues to grow, making it one of the most exciting segments to watch in book publishing. In 2014, the Audiobook Publisher's Association reported that its members grew sales revenue by 10.9% collectively to $376.6 million. Technology, in particular mobile devices, is a huge proponent of that growth, wrote APA director Michele Cobb in an article for Book Business. In order to amplify the audiobook boom, she added, publishers must continue to partner with new technology that makes the purchase and listening process as easy as possible.
