It is a wonderful endeavour to have books in Indian languages. However, the collection of English fiction is small right now. But, if we do get the opportunity to buy our audio books right here in our own country, it would definitely widen the scope for so many otherwise unread authors to be read.
What are the possibilities of making international authors available? I know there is a lot that goes into the entire process of making a book available, but can't those publishing houses which do publish international authors make it possible for the books to be produced in audio? This is a question springing out of relative ignorance of how the industry works, and a genuine curiosity to know more. -----Original Message----- From: AccessIndia [mailto:accessindia-boun...@accessindia.org.in] On Behalf Of Amiyo Biswas Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2013 4:20 PM To: AccessIndia: a list for discussing accessibility and issuesconcerning thedisabled. Subject: Re: [AI] Market for Audio Books in India. I have also read Bengali audio books from BooksTalk. They donated all those Bengali books to our organisation, Blind Personhs' Association. They are of excellent quality. I don't know why they are not producing anything in Bengali. I mailed Zende on it, still nothing yet in Bengali.
