What I don't agree with is your take on audiobooks: I really don't think most readers will take them up in favor of ebooks because they're a very different experience.
I love reading, not so fond of listening. Audiobooks just don't interest me. (And before you go on about modern ones being much better, I'm more than willing to stipulate that they are, but it still doesn't make them desirable for me.)

Ok, you don't like audiobooks, so what? My point is the cost for a format many people find far more fun and useful is not significantly more and when your timing is right, it's less than the ebook version in many cases. But since you don't shop for audiobooks you won't realize that part.
BTW, many people have out grown those "wacky" morning shows or the same six songs played endlessly on 500 radio stations and actually enjoy the audiobooks on their commute. Nobody said a damn thing about you needing to like the format so "...lighten up Frances." It gets really old with the selfish "it's all about MY way and what I WANT" crap. Think beyond yourself for a change.
