Recently, I had a curious exchange with Audible.com's customer service.
Cormac McCarthy has a new book, The Road, due to be published later this month. I noticed that there is an unabridged audio version to be published at the same time. Audible.com's list of new books to become available soon didn't included The Road, so I submitted a question to Audible:
Me: "Will Audible have Cormac McCarthy's new book, "The Road", available as a selection when it is published this month?"
Audible Customer Service: "We are always increasing our inventory every month. Rather or not you see this, we are increasing the titles we have, some Unabridged, some Abridged. Just to let you know, there might be times when we might not get titles cause of copyrights are not given. There are times when we might not get them because we didn't know about the titles. If you wish, you could always go to www.audible.com/request, so you could request them. There are never estimated dates released on a title in negotiation."
I'm guessing that The Road is not going to be available on Audible.com.
