Yeah, I noticed that low audible rate, but you can pick and choose where to distribute IF you use their distribution. If/when I went with audible, I'd go direct. Its a matter of researching as much as possible and since this is a growing industry avoiding locking myself into anything because better deals might very well come along.

Thanks--I'll check open audiobooks. Do they do the recording?

The Kobo place, even with a discount, is one of the highest rates I've seen quoted. Audible recorders generally range from 200 to 350 and some stop doing it after that because they make the big time.
