Abstract
Digital Internet-distributed audio-books are a surprising game changer in digital publishing.
In recent years, audio-books have moved from being a peripheral by-product of the printed book into the centre of digital publishing and reading, but are typically still ignored in publishing studies.
This article raises the voice of the audio-book by giving it a privileged status in the current transformations of book publishing caused by digitisation.
We present an original model of the digital audio-book circuit, which is based on interviews and knowledge from the Danish market as part of a global industry, which makes it possible to reflect and adjust according to national variations. The model is framed by theoretical discussions of values and dynamics within the digital audio-book circuit in general.
