I didn't find anything on the O.P. about this.

I have been getting emails from a company called AudioFile (cute name, huh?) over the years. Heretofore, they've only sold audiobooks, I think. I never bought anything from them, that I remember. Frankly, I'd have to go back and check the old emails from them, because I think that they didn't even offer downloading--they only sold the physical product (CD's). They were basically like AudiobookStand, if you are familiar with them.

Well, the most recent email that I received in which "AudioFile" was shown as the sender seems to reveal a couple of major changes with the company. First, they apparently just started offering downloads and streaming. Second, they apparently just started a new book club, that they had not had before. And, third, they are doing business under a different name--it's no longer AudioFile, but Audiobooks Now. The new name is one of the things that make me think that they are trying to go off into a new direction with the business.

Anyway, I mainly wanted to tell you about the audiobook club. Actually, I wasn't mainly planning to tell you about the audiobook club--I mainly was going to give you Audiobooks Now's webpage and let you do most of the exploring. Appropriately enough, their new website is http://www.audiobooksnow.com.

See what you think. Maybe someone would even be kind enough to study up on their new audiobook club and give interested MobileReaders a summary of what they're doing and maybe even give his or her "take" on them.
