Audiobooks and iCloud

I have bought my last audiobook through apple. With no cloud services, they can kiss my substantial revenue stream goodbye (500 audio books and counting). I now buy my audiobooks through audible/amazon. With that and the kindle reader app, im left scratching my head on why i own an ipud anymore, and am looking at either a windows 8, android tablet or a kindle, all of which at least have a file structure you can store a real document on, rather than having each app store its individual files.

Cant wait for the day im playing an apple quicktime video app on a kindle fire.

Wake up apple. The $$$ margin's in the content, and the content needs to be available all the time on any device with an authorized account. Wake up and smell reality. How are your sales figures on ebooks and audio books lately? Expect video sales to head the same direction - south.

Open up your network to apple content running on apple apps in the kindle and google play store. If people buy your content, they should be able to play it on any smart device via an apple app.

Thats why amazon and audible kick your butt in ebook and audiobook sales. And the amazon video app is available too with the same shows and movies, many of which are free on amazon prime. Netflicks too, apps and content on mutiple platforms.

Hear that giant sucking sound? Its revenue opportunity flying out of your wallet while the public seeks content and device providers that supply what the public has always wanted - to play what they want, when they want it, where they want it, on the device they want and access the content from anywhere, meaning cloud access to all their purchases.

Apps on other platforms and cloud storage for everything you sell. What a concept. Call Samsung and Amazon if you Need help to figure it out. Its where your former customers will be hanging out and paying for content every day and gradually moving to a hardware platform with a more open content access mentaility. Enjoy that once every two year hardware revenue from a new ipad purchase or upgrade. Hope that is enough to make that quarterly revenue target. It sure wont be from your content sales.
