Hi,

There are many ways to do audio, you need to match your niche.

Various people never use adobe now. Foxit is a free swap-in.

With it you can use openoffice to produce a pdf then edit the pdf
and add sound.

A common way is to offer separate options: a) reading b) audio
c) video  d) workshops e) franchise ... <grin>

Is there another program (OpenOffice?) that can embed files into little "players," allowing the book to eventually be saved to .pdf?
