DISQUS

As Managing Director of GoSpoken I appreciate the time that Mr Operator has taken to review our product. A couple of points. GoSpoken has been developed as an infrastructure to take advantage of HSDPA penetration when it becomes more available. In the coming months we will be able to deliver Mobile e books and the sale and delivery of conventional paper books from our system. Our research has shown that the download of spoken audio is growing quarter on quarter.
Once there is a bigger penetration of HSDPA, we feel the availability that the consumer has to download a section of an audio book from where ever they are, will be of benefit , as audio books on CD are not always easily available. The audio book market on CD is worth £80 million in the UK alone. We are conscious that the GoSpoken customer experience may not yet be perfect, but this is something that will be improved in line with the mobile phone network infrastructure and handset upgrades.

Interesting artice as I'm a big audio book listener. I may give it a go just out of curiosity but I'll proabably stick with Audible books and AudibleAir for listening on my phone as it gives me direct access to all previous purchases at a choice of file size/quality. It is nice to see someone else venturing into the mobile audiobook market but I'll save my judgment until after I've tried it.
