Audible's new proposed royalty structure is a slap in the face to authors, readers who care about them, and exactly opposite of what they promised Brandon Sanderson barely a year ago.

It is an attempt to seize a monopoly by punishing authors until they agree to exclusivity, which would drive Audible's competitors out of the market.

I like Audible. Every so often after many attempts to even get me pay 0.99€/month they offere me a free access for 7 days and I can download one book I choose for free.

The only issue is they use their own DRM protected .aax format so I can't listen to the books offline.

The only issue with that format is that it's a non-issue.
