It sounds like it will be interesting. You make a very good point about the different story telling formats holding their own worth. I may not prefer audiobooks over print (or e) books, but I do think they have their place.

I think that these three formats will just continue to co-exist, and people will gravitate to the one they prefer at the moment. However, printed books will, I think, ALWAYS be preferred by most readers. There's just nothing in the world like walking into a bookstore, picking up an interesting book, and browsing through it. There's also nothing like kicking back on the couch with a good book lovingly held in one's hands!<br /><br />Happy Reading!
