Brilliance Audio Adds QR Codes to Audiobook Packaging

Audiobook publisher Brilliance Audio announced plans to add two-dimensional QR Codes—a coded “Quick Response” graphic linked to audiobook content—to its packaging that will allow consumers to instantly access free audio excerpts of the audiobooks they are considering.

The first package with the QR codes to be released will be The Land Of Painted Caves by Jean M. Auel, which will go on sale March 29.
