And since they're not available from places like Audible.com, where you've already committed a fair amount of money annually, the cost of the audio books is in addition to that commitment. Plus, at least at my library, the audio books were visible to pre-order way before the eBooks were, so the backup has had a chance to build.
Plus, audiobooks are far more portable than ebooks and can be played on most MP3 players.
