Paradise Publishers Inc. has teamed up once again with QVC, the world's leading video and ecommerce retailer, to offer the e-GO! Library AudioBook Bundle (QVC Item # E284479). It's the second product of Paradise Publishers that QVC has offered to shoppers. The first, which is still available on QVC.com was the e-GO! Library USB Memory Stick, which features 1,000 of the most popular independently published eBooks and 250 classic titles. The e-GO! Library was so popular upon its launch in July that it sold out in its first week. Now, for shoppers who might want to listen instead of read, the e-GO! AudioBook Bundle is currently available on QVC.com.

Nicolas Gremion, CEO of Paradise Publishers Inc. says he understands why the AudioBook Bundle has been such a success.

"In general, audiobooks are expensive so they aren't as popular as eBooks" he explains. "They cost more to produce and that makes it more expensive for customers. The average audiobook is usually $15-25 per title. That's why the e-GO! Audio Library, is so popular. Instead of $20 dollars on average, these titles are about 20 cents each. That's what makes this USB audio library far more affordable for insatiable readers, or more accurately, insatiable listeners."

Gremion goes on to explain that not every book lover can always make the time to read a book; however, they might have time to listen.

"For many readers, audiobooks help them enjoy their time when they're on public transportation, working out, driving, cooking or pursuing other activities where their ears are open, but their eyes and hands are doing other things," he points out.

The e-Go! AudioBook Bundle contains 550 classic titles in English, spans several genres and has already sold out its first run on Paradise Publishers' website. Gremion feels another key reason for the audiobook USB success is the convenience factor. It arrives preloaded so listeners don't need to spend hours downloading content. It contains nearly 29GB of data or roughly 2,000 hours of audiobooks.

"Summer is often the time people want to be outdoors," explains Gremion. "The last thing people want to do is be stuck in the house downloading books that they can take to the beach or on vacation. This USB is ready-made so they just put it in their pocket and go."

That same portability, Gremion claims, is what makes it ideal for those who are going to be traveling to remote locations where Wi-Fi reception is limited or non-existent.

"With the e-GO! Audio Library, audiobook listeners can take cruises and go camping; essentially enjoy everything about vacationing. And since it's in MP3 format, the audiobooks can be played on all listening devices such as iPhones, iPads, Androids and mp3 players, like Sony Walkman."

Gremion says his goal with the company is twofold. The first goal is to save people time by creating an affordable product that means less browsing, downloading and upload audiobook content. The second is making something that allows people to enjoy more books.

"I believe we've achieved that balance," says Gremion. "I am happy that QVC has given us the opportunity to share our goal of providing convenient and affordable books to the masses."
