It’s easy to assume that eBooks will continue dominating over the rest of the book formats, in terms of sales. Thanks to their ease and accessibility, eBooks have quickly grown and become accepted into the mainstream. But are they still the book format that still has the most growth potential now?

Therefore, it’s a no brainer in today’s multitasking world that both audiobooks and podcasts are gaining popularity.

Audiobooks are already seeing much growth thanks to Amazon who owns Audible, a major distributer of audiobooks. With the online retailing giant behind them, maybe it’s possible that one day audiobooks will be the most popular book format…
