Aliens Echo : An Original Young Adult Novel

[Corporal Hicks]

Audio books are usually more expensive.

[Frosty Venom]

As good as some of the recent audio books have been I prefer to read the book.

Audio books are usually more expensive.

Oh right.  Missed the whole audio book part there.  Speed reading!

But seriously, they're really that expensive?  That's bananas.  Got to go with Audible instead.

I'm the same but I've picked up a few to listen to while I'm driving to and from work. I can get through a chapter or two during that time and just move ahead in the book.

Audiobook for $23.75 AUD.

I don't imagine the $50+ is the final price.

[Perfect-Organism]

The price on Chapters.ca is over $50 as well.  Chapters - Indigo - Coles is Canada's biggest retail chain for books.  It means people can already order the audio book at that price.  Very odd.  That's not even an audio drama.  It's just a reading.

AUD and CAD are almost on parity so $50 sounds extremely excessive.

Audio books are usually more expensive.

That much more expensive, though?

If it was read by a celebrity, maybe.

[426Buddy]

Hopefully Sean Connery 

[Xenomrph]

Sigourney Weaver.

No, no, Ridley Scott.

Comedy option: Paul WS Anderson

[Perfect-Organism]

Comedy option 2:  Paul Reiser...

I think the marketing team sent out the wrong info to the retailers by mistake.  Anybody capable of informing the publisher may wish to do so, otherwise the audio book will flounder in the marketplace.

[HuDaFuK]

$50 seems ridiculous when the Audbile audio dramas, which clearly took a lot more work, were only £14.99 over here.

[Corporal Hicks]

I might be mistaking that for the physical releases. I remember seeing those huge prices and going "no thanks."

Paul Reiser would be great to read an audiobook.
