with partners to bring these benefits to the consumer for our content and are
therefore delighted to have signed this deal with Dublin\'s Country Mix 106.8\"

Sean Ashmore, marketing director with Dublin\'s Country Mix 106.8, added: "We are
delighted to be on board with AudioDigitalBooks.com and have worked closely with
them to deliver this audiobook content to our listeners. They have made it very easy
for us and their service will make it simple for our listeners to buy, download and
listen to these quality audiobooks."

AudioDigitalBooks.com was established with the aim of creating the most
comprehensive source of spoken content available on the Internet, it is opening up a
valuable new revenue channel for publishers and authors, and giving consumers easy
and affordable access to both new and classic spoken word material.

Jae Taylor publisher of AudioDigitalBooks.com, said: "The well-used phrase, \'content
is king\' could not be truer. We have worked very hard to be in the position to
deliver some of the best audio content to market.

"Timeless comedy classics such as Dad\'s Army and Blackadder, classic authors like
Emily Bronte, Thomas Hardy, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle alongside contemporary work such
as Little Britain and League of Gentlemen and Ian McEwan\'s Saturday means, that
consumers, have a fantastic range of the highest quality material from which to
choose."

The system has been developed to meet the specific needs of spoken word listeners
and publishers. It offers a powerful, feature-packed, web-based \'shop\' with the sole
purpose of allowing the fast, effective digital downloading of spoken word content
and the built-in digital rights management allows for flexible use of the downloaded
files while tackling the issue of illegal file sharing. The audio books can be
downloaded securely onto personal computers or widely available portable WMA or MP3
players.

"We do not want to be all things to all people. We want to be the best possible site
in the specialist area of the spoken word, offering a mutually beneficial
partnership with publishers" concluded Mr. Taylor.
