Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to clarify issues related to the contemporary study of audiobook practices, in order to aid subsequent research on topics related to reading, digital audiobooks and streaming subscription services.

Design/methodology/approach

Using the concept of remediation, this paper covers four messy issues for audiobook researchers, primarily by developing the concept of reading by listening and then exploring the different remediations of the audiobook, clarifying the audiobook as a book and exploring the context of streaming subscription services.

Findings

Reading is here conceptualised according to the human sense used when making meaning from text, with reading by listening suggested for reading done with the help of the ears. Three different forms of remediation can be seen in subscription-based audiobooks, related to format, content and sense. Audiobooks simultaneously follow traditions of reading aloud, remediates the printed book and previous audiobook formats. It is suggested that the content is what makes an audiobook a book. The concepts library model and bookshop model are introduced to understand different audiobook subscription service models.

Originality/value

This is a research area on the rise with several messy issues and the concepts and clarifications in this paper may benefit future research.

聆听阅读：概念化流媒体订阅服务时代的有声读物实践

目的

本文的目的是澄清与有声读物实践的当代研究相关的问题，以帮助对与阅读，数字有声读物和流媒体订阅服务相关的主题进行后续研究。

设计/方法/方法

本文使用补救的概念，为有声读物研究者涵盖了四个麻烦的问题，主要是通过发展听，读然后探索有声读物的不同补救方法的概念，阐明有声读物作为一本书，以及探索流媒体订阅服务的背景。

发现

这里的阅读是根据当从文本中表达含义时所使用的人类感觉来概念化的，建议通过听力阅读来借助耳朵进行阅读。在基于订阅的有声读物中，可以看到三种不同的补救形式，它们与格式，内容和意义有关。有声读物同时遵循朗读的传统，对印刷书籍和以前的有声读物格式进行补救。建议内容是使有声读物成为一本书的内容。引入概念库模型和书店模型以了解不同的有声读物订阅服务模型。

创意/价值

这是一个不断发展的研究领域，存在一些混乱的问题，本文中的概念和说明可能会有益于未来的研究。
