I'm not sure about the statement that audiobooks cost less to produce than
print books. For one thing, the person narrating the book doesn't come free.
There's the payment for that, plus the cost of production. Many audiobooks
include a list of credits spoken at the end of the book, and it's usually at
least four or five people working on it. I don't have any figures available,
but I wouldn't be so quick to say that audiobooks are less expensive to
produce.
