Last week at Frankfurt Book Fair, our team shared exciting insights on the future of audiobooks and listening trends across Europe. Among the takeaways: regular EU audiobook listeners consume an average of three audiobooks monthly, and our member base in France, Germany, Italy and Spain continues to grow significantly year over year. We explored how Audible is meeting this growing demand by expanding both our AI capabilities and professional narration investments, because every story deserves to be heard! We also hosted conversations with bestselling author Sebastian Fitzek and narrator Simon Jäger, giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at the creative process behind their acclaimed Audible Originals. We immersed fans in Jane Austen's world with a live reading from our new multicast Pride and Prejudice adaptation, featuring German cast members Aaron Altaras and Dennenesch Zoudé. 👉 Read more insights on the Frankfurt Book Fair here: https://adbl.co/4o4248U #InsideAudible
