Max Sound Corporation To Launch Online Audio Book Store To Compete For 3.2 Billion Dollar Growth Market

STORYTIME WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!

Santa Monica, Calif., May 15, 2012 – Max Sound Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: MAXD), an innovative audio technology company that is changing how we listen to music, watch movies, play video games, experience television and communicate on our mobile devices announced today that it will soon launch the MAXD Store to bring their breakthrough technology to the audio book market and create the best possible scenario for Authors and Publishers. In a strategic alliance with Lissy Peace & Associates, a long time publishing and entertainment veteran, the MAXD Store will develop an extensive catalog with both exclusive and non-exclusive offerings from the world’s top authors, publishers and entertainment companies.
Long gone are the days of audiocassettes plugged into your car cassette player with extensively large packaging.  Today, audio book listeners can download their favorites in minutes and keep a library at the click of their fingers on their mobile devices. While the printed book may have taken a side step, advances in technology have brought forward a whole new collection of readers and audio book listeners. As the publishing industry focuses their energies on the growth of new formats blessed with advances in technology, the need for books and quality manuscripts will only continue to grow.
“The audio book industry has grown by leaps and bounds with the advances in technology,” commented Lissy Peace – President of Lissy Peace & Associates. “Max Sound (MAXD) and soon the MAXD Store will bring a much better and more exciting book experience to the consumer.”
According to a December 10, 2011 report entitled Mobile Content and Applications by UK based Juniper Research, ebook sales are expected to generate $9.7 billion worldwide in 2016, more than three times the $3.2 billion the category is expected to generate this year. Strong demand for tablets will drive the growth, and nearly 30% of all ebooks in 2016 will be downloaded to tablets.
The MAXD Store is projected to be up and running by mid-summer 2012. Offering publishers and authors a much more competitive and appealing royalty structure along with the best sound technology available, the MAXD Store is set to garner a powerful position in this burgeoning industry. Additionally, the MAXD Store will incorporate innovative features including interactive forums for fans to communicate with their favorite writers and storytellers, audio books read by the authors, previews of coming books, and exclusive offerings. In addition to providing the best sounding audio books available, the MAXD Store will provide consumers with a cost competitive outlet to purchase their downloads.

“Writing is an art. The MAXD process will bring that art to life when added to Audio Books creating a more enjoyable experience for consumers and a better return on investment for authors, publishers and entertainment companies alike,” said James C. Place Director Business Development at Max Sound Corp.
