Audible’s new proposed royalty structure is a slap in the face to authors, readers who care about them, and exactly opposite of what they promised Brandon Sanderson barely a year ago.
It is an attempt to seize a monopoly by punishing authors until they agree to exclusivity, which would drive Audible’s competitors out of the market.
Third for libro.fm. I add them to my own server after purchase with a librofm downloader, that works great. Audiobookshelf to play the books. Hardcover to track my reading, wish lists, and book reviews. Great experience.
I could sail for the audible exclusives. I don’t, but I could.
