Audio Realms has gone out of business and they have taken their main website and Facebook Page offline. They have provided no indication on what prompted their company to suspend operations. Some of their audiobook content remains available on Audible and Overdrive.

Some customers are irate who purchased Audio Realms content on Audiobooks.com. It seems that when the company want out of business all of the purchased content has disappeared from customers libraries and they have no way to access them.

This is the first time that an audiobook company that distributes their content to many different retailers has simply disappeared, with no warning. Hopefully this trend will not continue, as audiobooks in general are the fastest growing segment in digital publishing.
