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? |

Probably because audiobooks sell in less copies, so they try to cover production costs.

audible.com has a good program it is how I get mine. Do the monthly thing and you get basically a book a month via tokens. I bought a $45 book with 1 token that cost me $15.
