Simply Audiobooks Expands Books on Tape Appeal with Video Production...

Simply Audiobooks, North America's8217;s top source for audio books, announced today it has partnered with Expanded Books, an edgy California video production company, to provide free video clips of author interviews on selected books on tape titles at www.simplyaudiobooks.com.



Hosted by actor James Michael Tyler, who played Gunther on the award-winning sitcom Friends, the Expanded Books video clips allow readers to become more intimate with a book through an honest, in-depth discussion with the authors themselves. In the videos, Tyler encourages authors like Crazy Busy creator, Dr. Edward M. Hallowell, and Prior Bad Acts author, Tami Hoag, to candidly express the various forces that brought their books into being, focusing on what inspired the story, as well as plot and character development.    




Simply Audiobooks CEO, Sean Neville, was enthusiastic about the partnership because it adds an entirely new layer to the company's8217;s current audio book rental, sales and download offering.



's8220;Our partnership with Expanded Books is something to get excited about because it allows book lovers to become more connected to a work through a visual dimension that neither the print, nor audio book version can offer,'s8221; said Neville. 's8220;Once again, Simply Audiobooks is pushing the boundaries of the traditional book.'s8221;
