Why do audiobooks appear so expensive?

I like reading, and often purchase books from Amazon on a monthly basis. Anyway, having gotten an iPod4G a few months ago, I decided to look at audio books for the first time.

Called up a few in iTunes and they were like 17.99 etc. Where as the actual physical book, including postage from Amazon would be about 10.00

I listened to the 30 second preview, and its just a voice reading the book.

So why are they so expensive? I mean theres no physical product, no shipping, no manufacturing costs etc... Just a download...

Am I missing something?
