Did record companies charge charge customers for the songs, and extra for the CD book? And if they tried, how would the customer have reacted? Publishers need to see their content as format-agnostic, and charge a fair price for the content itself.

We're exploring this concept with Wayne Watson by offering the audio book free with the purchase of the printed book. It's impossible to compare how we are doing because there's nothing to compare it with, but I don't think you have to be Steve Jobs to assume the customer likes the idea.

I just bought the Noticer because of the promotion. I know my mother in law liked the Traveler (she gave me a copy but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet.). I read on my kindle mostly, but like to give books away when I am done with them. So I bought your hardback and will give it away to my mother in law (probably without opening it) and then keep the ebook format to read on my own when I have a chance.

Glad to see one of the publishing giants is finally using technology to their advantage! For quite some time now, authors have been offering free digital copies at lulu.com and free podcast audiobooks at podiobooks.com. In fact, this July, Unconventional, my debut novel, will be offered as a trade paperback and a free audiobook narrated by Jeffrey Kafer, an award-winning voice over talent! Folks will be able to subscribe to the podcast in iTunes and listen to my book on their iPods. For FREE. Scott Siggler and Jeremy Robinson have both done this.

Great idea – I like it. Please keep us informed of how you see the success of this over time. Would be interesting to know also if you see other publishers following in your footsteps. Well done for taking this brave step.
