As per Peter Ahlstrom (https://old.reddit.com/r/Fantasy/comments/zspzde/state_of_th...) VP of Editorial Department:

>Libro.fm gives a low percentage of retail price for books bought on the credit system. Our retail price is $14.99, same as a credit. Libro.fm won’t let us say the books can only be bought at retail price and not with a credit.




Interesting. There are some books that are retail-only on Libro.fm (https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781483080703), but I guess they don't think Sanderson is big enough to let him do that. Everyone seems to be acting reasonably here, I think it's fine that Sanderson doesn't think this deal is worth it, but as a user it's obviously nice to be able to use credits and it seems like most publishers are ok with the tradeoff, as I don't think I've ever been unable get an audiobook through Libro (unless it doesn't exist anywhere).
