I am looking at the first True Blood book, Dead Until Dark, and the audio CD is the version I need (it's a gift). On Barnes and Noble's website, the paperback is about $8, an MP3 (unabridged) is about $25, and an audio CD version (unabridged) is almost $60.
I see this trend in many books and don't understand. I get that an audio version will cost more than print, but how is the CD set over twice as much, or about $35 more than an MP3? Yes the CDs themselves and packaging cost money to produce but THAT much more? And shipping is separate so, I'm at a loss.
