And I should know because I created it! Anyone can register a publisher account at bookstolistento and upload their own audiobooks and eBooks.

But it has one major ADVANTAGE over YouTube – they can SELL their audiobooks and eBooks. The publisher sets the price and we take a small fee (£0.40 + 10%) The rest goes to the publisher. So if they sell the book for , say, £2.99, we take £0.70 and they get the other £2.29. If they sell, say, 400 copies, they make £916. We make a mere £280 – of which £120 goes to pay transaction fees.

It’s like YouTube, eBay, Amazon and iTunes all rolled into one! And it can be used by any author to sell their audiobook or eBook!
