I have no idea what the price elasticity is on audiobooks, but $14.95 or thereabouts is a dealbreaker for me; I'd be willing to go higher than $1.99 or $2.99, but we're not even in shouting distance. Fortunately, OverDrive isn't going to run out of audiobooks any time soon.
Audible does have a few books that are not available elsewhere (e.g., from Audible Studios), so at some point I will probably rejoin to pick those up. But right now I'm more likely to try libro.fm, and/or Downpour.
