> It's a gamble for everyone except Audible. The gamble is this: you will spend thousands of dollars producing an audiobook. In exchange you will get distribution on the biggest audiobook marketplaces in the world: Audible, Amazon, iTunes.

Audible and Amazon are the same thing.

iTunes: Can't everyone get his/her audiobook on iTunes?

I don't think producing content and then getting 13% of the proceeds is appealing. Neither are 25% or even 40%.

But then again i stay awayfrom Audible because of the DRM.
