The world’s first audio-only novel will be launched this week in a sign that the surge in demand for downloadable books is set to provide a new medium for budding authors and performers.
Sex on Legs, a 75,000 word novel written and read by Brian Luff, will be available for download on audible.co.uk despite Mr Luff, a London-based comedian, having no contract with a traditional book publisher. Audible, the US company that dominates the audiobook market, is the company behind the popular Ricky Gervais podcasts.
WOW … paid-for audio … what a concept … 
I mean … we’ve only been doing this kind of thing for the last 5 years in the Internet Marketing niche … c’mon Publishing World … CATCH UP!
Give it another 5 years and you’ll be hearing about the power of MySpace, etc. for new authors to sell their wares … sheesh :rolls eyes:
