Golden times for the audio book?

Written by tevensso on October 11, 2004 to Misc.

HALMSTAD - Göran Fritzon and Mats “MP” Persson have together with Henrik Johansson, Staffan Karlsson and Martin Franzén started the company SweMD.com which will sell downloadable books in mp3-format.

Many famous authors are represented on SweMD.com, for instance Eva Dahlgren, Liza Marklund and Henning Mankell. The prices will be about 50% less than what you pay buying the audio CD.

If things start off well, SweMD.com will start offering downloadable music as well. Initially SweMD.com will be availaible in Sweden, but before long it will be available also in other parts of the world.

I did not know that Eva Dahlgren is also a writer. What has she written so far?

She’s not related to Marie, if that’s what you want to know.

50% less? Not really
Well, it’s about 50% less than the recommended price, but just about 25% less than AdLbris, and probably other netstores as well...

And I’d rather pay 50 SEK more to get a CD and rip it myself

Ok, this is probably one of the get rich quick skims that millions have tried and ended up bankrupted in the first year! Downloading books! Give me a break.
