@liveoakmedia.bsky.socialFrom British intellectual Naomi Alderman "some books are very suitable to listen to and some are not. And some purposes of reading are well-served by listening and others are not"--and that's why we pick what we record! naomialderman.substack.com/p/at-the-ebb...

@shvetathakrar.comReposted by @liveoakmedia.bsky.socialLibraries buy books. Lots of books, in all versions (paper, electronic, audio). They also have to purchase expensive licenses for the electronic books. Depending on the country, some library checkouts result in royalties for authors. Libraries are hardly our enemy.
@liveoakmedia.bsky.socialAnd in another part of the country @worcesterpl.bsky.social has found a grand way to store #Wonderbook #audiobook format options for kid listeners--and they have a whole aisle of 'em!
