I think a book/audio or text/audio combo would work well. I'd certainly be interested. The 'combo' idea seems to be taking off with cd/dvd combos in music and I noticed some movies have a dvd/blueray/digital copy combo happening as well.
Ray, is their much difference in cost to making audio books than printed books? Bryan From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Raymond E.

Regards Jamila That would be a marketing or promotional concept. There are two ways that it could happen, either a retail position where they take the hit on the paperback in order to spur the sales of the hardcover, or a publisher's promotion. I would be paid a different rate on the second choice, as promotional discounted books generate a different income stream. It doesn't make a lot of sense for a variety of reasons I won't detail here; it's more logical to, say, give a coupon in the current paperback for a discount on the next hardcover.
