I wouldn't agree with this statement. An audiobook contains both the text of the book and a performance by the reader(s).
I've been listening to more audiobooks this year than I ever did before (for various reasons). Sometimes, the narrator adds to the story and sometimes they kill it! I don't particularly like the prices for audiobooks (and I rely heavily on the library for stories I'll likely only listen to once), but I understand there's another layer of costs involved in these.
