  10. The Soul of an Octopus, by Sy Montgomery (audio by HighBridge, a division of Recorded Books; print by Simon & Schuster)

Libro.fm has also created a number of images to help stores promote the top 10 audiobooks [6].

Since November, when Libro.fm and the American Booksellers Association announced the integration of Libro.fm and the IndieCommerce platform [7], the digital audiobook option appears on the IndieCommerce product page for titles available in that format. Libro.fm supplies the shopping cart and fulfillment via a store co-branded white label site and links back from the white label site to the referring store for purchase of the print book.

ABA members can learn more about working with Libro.fm on the Business Services page on BookWeb [8] and about signing up for IndieCommerce here [9]. Questions about Libro.fm or IndieCommerce should be directed to ABA IndieCommerce Director Phil Davies at [email protected] [10] or (914) 406-7527.
