...biggest problem we faced in growing this business was a lack of consumer awareness," says Jenny Frost, vice president and publisher of Bantam Doubleday Dell Audio. "Now people are finding them in retail outlets, trying them and discovering they think they are great." Inevitably, specialty stores have begun to crop up. Houston's BookTronics is one of the largest to carry nothing but audio -- with 8,000 titles for sale and rent. "We call ourselves the bookstore of the future," says co-owner Alan Livingston...
