"Amazon must have recognized the potential success, as 73% of people listen to audiobooks daily."
Well that's a lie. They even posted a reference for the statistic but clearly didn't bother to read it.
The number their source gives is 45% (for US and no mention of daily), with 73% of those people listening during their commutes.
Also, that "Fresh" audiobook statistics article is from 2021, but they slapped "(2025)" onto the title to preserve the freshness.
Its so cost prohibative, use your library.
Cost? 🏴☠️🦜

My library is a joke.
I can't deal with audio books as they are spoken much slower than I like to read. If they spoke as fast as I read, however, it would sound awful.
