"Amazon must have recognized the potential success, as 73% of people listen to audiobooks daily."

Well that's a lie. They even posted a reference for the statistic but clearly didn't bother to read it.

The number their source gives is 45% (for US and no mention of daily), with 73% of those people listening during their commutes.

Also, that "Fresh" audiobook statistics article is from 2021, but they slapped "(2025)" onto the title to preserve the freshness.
