Yes, but when you look at the audiobook market over the past 20 years, they are so much more affordable now.

It used to be that the only way to get an audiobook was to pay $30-$40 for a case of CDs, when the paperback was $3-$5. Today, the effective price of an audiobook is only $10-$15, compared to $7-$10 for a paperback or kindle edition. So it seems odd to accuse publishers of nickel and diming us on audiobook prices.
