Did you know that Audio books are being created using AI now? I've created several audio books using AI through Draft2Digital. That's where I publish my eBooks. D2D uses the Apple platform to distribute audio books. I've been very happy with them so far.
Today I found out that Kindle Direct Publishing (Amazon) also uses AI to create audio books with their Audible platform.
For years authors wanting an audio book had to pay a narrator/producer or try an do it on their own, which I would not advise. The cost ran into the hundreds if not thousands of dollars.
My first experience with audio books was with ACX (Amazon) back in the day. I switch to D2D for better distribution and my sales increased.
When I found out this years that I could have D2D create audio books I was delighted. I'm going through my titles and having all my adult novels made into audio books. The process is slower than with KDP but worth it for the better distribution.
A point to remember is that KDP(Amazon) is a retailer and D2D and Ingram Spark are distributors. As authors you want your books to find the largest audience possible.
