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.

Amazon has all kinds of plans with that story and other stories. Jim just sold a story. After some time Amazon loses the exclusive rights and then we can read it.
Dina:
Ok, I did not want to spark such a controversy. I was just worried I would not have the chance to read the book.
I personally do not like audiobooks too much, but my problem in this case is simply. While I can read acceptable well (obviously) I have problems understanding oral English. Many years ago, when I buy my first kindle, I used the audible free sample for Storm Front, a book that I knew almost by heart as the time, as before Ghost Story I've reread the entire series everytime a new one was released. Well, I needed to give the audiobook my whole attention to been able to barely understand what was going on. It was exhausting. I am a little more familiar with oral English now, but even so, it is difficult for me.
Of course, I think audiobooks are great, providing a chance to visually impaired people to enjoy books, and also lots of people like to listen to them while doing other things. As Mira says, that does not work for me (even in my own language, and definitely not in English).
But Regen's post made me happy. Perhaps I will have it, and I would not to need to wait so much (but if it is included in a short story book it will be fine). It could be refreshing to read Toot-Toot POV :)
Meanwhile, do you have any update in "the Olympian affair" status?

Then again it makes some of us buy stories twice..
Conspiracy Theorist:
Yes I really want to hear Marsters in Toots voice say “Mab’s frozen Boogers” when Little Things is collected.
As I suspect does Jim.
Not sure why Jim is doing the audio on The Law, after Ghost Story you would have think they would have learnt better.

My reading of the title details for the audio version of Heroic Hearts on Amazon is that each story has its own narrator with Marsters doing "Little Things."
