Trade books published from academic institutions have been virtually absent from the audiobook format. Why is this? Is it because these types of books do not go over well on audio? Nonsense. It is due to economics. The cost to produce, duplicate, inventory, and physically distribute audiobooks has simply not justified the risk of the lower sales volumes of academic titles--until now.
With the ever shrinking costs of studio-quality digital audio production tools and methods leveraged with the ultra efficiency of online audio distribution, University Press Audiobooks is in business to redefine the business of academic audiobook publishing.
