The audiobook industry is a lucrative source of potential income, but the high barrier to market entry set by expensive production costs and lack of guaranteed media sales can be daunting to even the largest publishing house. Digital distribution is an attractive and low cost alternative to physical media, but royalties and fees charged by the leading services mean much smaller profits than they should.

Folium Partners wants to bring the convenience, cost, and simplicity of print-on-demand self-publishing to the digital age. Our innovative enhancedAudio™ framework transforms the traditional audiobook into a multimedia experience capable of bridging the gap between printed media and the spoken word. We package the audiobook with publisher-provided content into an app for use on the iPhone®, iPad®, and iPod Touch®. The apps are sold on the Apple® App Store℠, where they are available to millions of users worldwide. What’s more, we believe that publishers deserve a larger percentage of total sales revenue, and to that end we have created an inventive business model based on one flat, up-front fee.
