Summary/Abstract: Through a brief discussion of theoretical frameworks regarding “reading” with our ears and an overview of the market and technology trends within the book publishing industry, this paper argues for the case of book digitizing, especially the case for creating audiobooks. The need for this digital format is established through several methods. First, research papers are incorporated into the paper. Also, statistical reports of the growing audiobook market share are used to support the main argument. To further strengthen the argument, a review of platforms for creating audiobooks, including artificial intelligence (AI) involvement, is offered based on the author’s personal experience to show that current technology can easily help this process.
