Mark Pearson has an important piece on “The harmful impact of audible exclusive audiobooks”.
Authors are sometimes encouraged to sign up with the
Audiobook Creation Exchange (ACX) for higher royalties, but have to give the exchange

This winds up depriving local libraries and
independent bookstores access to the books, which might be particularly harmful
during the pandemic lockdowns.
The group Fight for the Future offers a petition against the practice.
