I'm glad to know that there are at least a few who think the way that I do. I'm another one who weighs cost against length. I'm not just interested in price, I'm interested in relative
value--"bang for the buck."
My rule of thumb for audiobooks is that one is a good deal if the price of the audiobook is half or less of its number of hours of length. For example, a $10 audiobook would have to have at least 20 hours of length.
I also have rules of thumb for ebooks, based on the number of pages.
