Rezensionen

"Have and Pedersen contribute to a much needed rethinking of our concept of reading. As such, their book should be of great value to researchers and teachers within different fields who are interested in understanding mobile media use, literary reception, the multimodality of reading, and the relationship between media technology and user experience."

- Anne-Mette Bech, Albrechtslund Assistant Professor, PhD, Department of Communication & Psychology Aalborg University

"This book is part of a series dedicated to study new media and cyber culture and Have and Pedersen did a great job delivering valuable information based on a massive research with high standard references, making this book a great contribution to digital media studies. (...) Digital Audiobooks: New Media, Users and Experiences encourage new generations to start seeing the activity of audiobook listening as a first-rate reading experience."
