Absolutely.
Also? Speaking of Audiobooks, I have the following to say: 1. Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" series has an absolutely amazing audiobook version of it. 2. Sadly, it is primarily available through Audible, which is owned by Amazon, which I refuse to buy from and/or give my details to if I can at all avoid it. 3. Now... Gaiman's a great author, and I normally wouldn't advocate pirating his stuff - but he's also successful enough for me to argue that losing the revenue of those few leftist fans in his audience that ideologically refuse to buy from Amazon probably wouldn't make a dent in his finances. As such, I will also make note of the fact that you totally shouldn't google "sandman audiobook free" or similar terms, in order to find a variety of pirated versions of said audiobook. (Similarly, the Sandman comics are also available for free, for those that can't afford to buy the series and would otherwise be unable to read them)
It wonât make a dent in my income, no. My income on the Sandman audiobooks is a percentage of what DC comics makes licensing the material, and another payment for being the narrator. (Not a huge amount of money. We canât afford to pay Michael Sheen or James McAvoy or Kat Dennings or any of the other amazing starry people who take part in this what they get as film and tv stars. They do it for âI love Sandman and want to be part of itâ rates.)
On the other hand, the Sandman audiobooks are really expensive to make. They have a huge cast, and an amazing backstage group of sound designers. Audible will make them as long as they make money. If the listening figures drop because people are listening to them through other sources Audible might well stop making them. And then a lot of people take cuts in their incomes and that would actually, in the case of the not-famous hardworking voice actors (for example) would mean a real loss of money for the people who do need it.
If you donât want to listen on Audible, why not buy (or better yet, get from your library) the CD or the MP3 CD version, and transfer the files?
