Here's my take on the situation - Who gives a shit.  I read all day long while working. It's not a 300 page book but I'm reading boards, articles, blogs, tutorials, whatever. So listening to an audiobook is awesome while I'm in the car or some place when I can't normally read.
If you're an audiobook fan, you should check out http://www.audible.com/ |

So unless you're in their club or whatever where you get X titles free a month, it makes sense to shop around and not just pay list price at audible.  |
if you happen to be canadian, or live in another country that has a piracy tax
you can get the content for free (well not really since you paid a tax on all your cd/etc that you bought)

if you are going to pay for it anyway (thru the tax) the courts have recognized that it not piracy any more.
