I read some books and listen to others that I download from Audible.com on my portable audio player.

I just wish the audiobook industry wasn't so damned spotty with what they publish. I can find no rhyme or reason behind how they publish these titles.

Hell, I've even seen many new audiobooks as cds available in mp3 format, but no download available.

I share your frustration!

My guess is that they fear file sharing and delay or deny download availability of some titles. But selling a book in .mp3 CD format that could be transferred to a computer hard drive and then spread through file sharing nullifies my guess. Except, the latter would require a bit more effort.
