On a business level I don't care why Butcher does what he does. I don't really know him. I know his work.

I am going to go with the positive: maybe it is because there are negotiatings for a high quality series on Amazon prime (if that is the name of their streaming service). And this is part of those negotiations. I have not followed the news about the lord of the rings series, but it sounds like they take it serious.

Something like the Jack Reacher series which did everything right that the Dresden sci fi series did wrong in an adaption. But yes, marketing across Prime and Audible does make sense in that context. Content is key these days, and there are a lot of Dresden files to adapt, and Prime doesn’t have much in the urban fantasy genre at the moment.

Someone asked him to write a story and he did. We get it sooner or later

You and I both know it isn't that simple. Nor do I think it has anything to do with creating a new series on Prime. That doesn't make any sense at all if anything Amazon would want to broaden the viewership as much as possible. That isn't done by putting a Dresden Story on just one format, nor is there any proof that there are more audio users using Prime to stream than non audio users. I think the answer is in the first line of the advertisement for the story, oh this is free, then after a month for fourteen dollars or so a month you can get more audio books. Cancel anytime helps but this is what this is about.
