I have yet to see evidence of ebooks from traditional publisher's being $4 to $5 cheaper.

But hey, we can have a difference of opinion on it.

Econ 101, you price what the market will pay. As long as enough people buy at a particular price point, there is no reason to reduce it. As far as I know, there is no agency pricing for audio books. Peace Talks costs $35 on audible (the member price is $24) and $20 on Apple, so I think that's a no.
I mean, as long as you are convincing yourself. I remain unconvinced by any evidence you have shown.

Your own arguments seem to occasionally disagree with what you are saying. But what matters most is you get to stick to your guns.
