Jagamaga.mobi now releases a collection of 100 classic audiobooks for mobile downloads. Mobile user can access enhanced audiobooks of the popular LibriVox library on the mobile phone. Download is free and supported by advertisements.
Research shows that audiobooks are commonly consumed in cars and while traveling. The ability to browse and download audiobooks at idle time with a mobile device is a clear benefit to the user. Downloading it directly to the phone is convenient because no copying or converting is required.
"Audiobooks and mobile phones belong together", claims Andreas Mehrens, founder of Jagamaga, "70% of consumers are using mobile content when in transit or waiting. We give the user entertainment where and when they need it."
Audiobooks attract mainly consumers 30 years old and above. Captivating mobile content for these demographics is a key factor in attracting these customers to mobile broadband services.
Studies of the behavior of mature consumer clearly show that the adoption of new technology is dependent on the usefulness of it and less a matter of age. The acceptance of new content services is determined by the benefits for the user and less by curiosity for technological innovation.
“A easy to use mobile service is very likely to change the way audiobooks are acquired. Our offering encourages adoption of mobile audiobooks and will prove that audiobooks on mobile phones are a perfect match.” says the founder of Jagamaga, Andreas Mehrens.
The current Jagamaga catalog consists of classic bestsellers. The length ranges from 4 minutes short stories to the 24 hour long unabridged reading of “Moby Dick”.
The catalog amount to over 500 hours of audio. The genres offered are: children's, crime & horror, classic fiction, religion and philosophy, history and business and economics.
The audiobooks are narrated by volunteers at LibriVox.org. To ensure undisturbed listening pleasure Jagamaga applies professional audio restoration and mastering to the source files. "The resulting crisp and noiseless audio is closing up to professionally produced audiobooks."
claims founder of Jagamaga, Andreas Mehrens.
They converted audio files can be downloaded directly on any handset with broadband internet capability and a suitable data plan. File size stay under the critical 6-8 MB while retaining good audio quality.
