Amazon audio books7/8/2023 Making a deal with Audible to get their titles into the audio book game was a necessary step to expand their catalog into a digital goods market that an indie can't afford not to be in nowadays. My main print publisher is an indie, women-run small business. ![]() ![]() In addition to being a tech journalist, blogger and podcaster, I'm still an author and anthology editor with dozens of books in print in many languages - the old fashioned way to be a writer. I'm the 'little guy' whose work is traded off of in this ridiculous charade wherein companies use dated, anti-consumer and anti-artist racketeering-style business tactics instead of evolving their business models. As one commenter put it on Reddit in a thread about trying to listen to their Audible book outside the DRM, "It's easier to torrent and steal the book than to play it on my car stereo."Īudible's DRM poisons my relationship with my readers and fans.
