Subscription-based audiobook platforms, such as Audible, have gained immense popularity in the United States and globally. Several factors contribute to this trend. Firstly, fast-paced lifestyles leave many with limited time for traditional book reading. Audiobooks allow for "reading" during commutes, workouts, or chores, significantly increasing reading efficiency. Secondly, the subscription model reduces the cost of reading. Compared to buying physical or individual e-books, a subscription provides access to a vast library of audiobooks for a relatively low monthly fee. Thirdly, platforms like Audible boast extensive audiobook libraries, covering various genres and topics to cater to diverse readers' preferences. Lastly, technological advancements have enhanced audiobook production quality, resulting in clear sound and professional narration, further improving user experience. The rise of subscription-based audiobook platforms also reflects changing consumer habits and a growing preference for convenient and efficient reading methods. In the US, Audible has become a leading player in the audiobook market, providing a successful model for other platforms.
