Why does it cost so more to listen to audio books than watch movies?

You've made an interesting observation. Also, why does it cost $275 for a college Accounting book? The professors then decide to change editions every year so the used book market has basically collapsed. Actually, that's how Barnes and Noble got their start 30+ years ago. They were sticking it to the students back then, and now they're sticking it to their customers.

The worst is the books that need online access codes. Instead of using Blackboard, the instructors have gotten lazy and let the publishers' websites take care of homework grading.
