    "Shamrock Capital, Flexpoint Ford taking on company that focuses on
    audiobooks and self-published authors, two industry bright spots" "Private-equity firms Shamrock Capital and Flexpoint Ford have acquired
    Podium Entertainment, a book publisher focused on independent authors
    and audiobooks. They bought the publisher for north of $400 million,
    according to people familiar with the matter."

    And another publisher goes down.
