I buy them via Audible...so they are about $15 a piece. I tend to buy the long books via audible on purpose as a way of extending the value.
I got hooked a couple decades ago when audible first came out and you got a digital book player "for free" when you signed up. I used to drive 45m - 1hr each way every day for work. So I checked out a lot of audio books from the library before audible, then have been pretty much all audible since then.
For a number of years I no longer commuted, but worked from home and traveled by air. I listened to a lot fewer books. Now I'm back to a 1.5hr commute each way for work and back to listening. I prefer listening to a book over watching a tv show or movie when commuting.
I can read quite a few more books per year due to audiobooks. I do find that my reading time at home is challenged by binge watching tv shows.
