Audiobooks: are they worth it in terms of sales?

[cool pop]

I'd hold off on Audible for the time being. Apparently, there are some serious questions regarding their romance novel package, payouts, questions on contract lengths, and mislabeling categories. A friend is going to speak directly to them tomorrow.

ETA: Also found out there are questions on royalty payments for some narrators.

I believe their romance package is optional like Select/KU so an author has the choice of opting into it or not. And yes it's no surprise that it sucks. Amazon will do anything to squeeze pennies from authors. Kindle Unlimited is a mess so I am not surprised this romance package deal is as well. The "pay" they offer is pathetic just like in KU.
