Illustrations and Maps Accompanying Audiobooks

Thank you for the link. I will definitely provide the feedback and hopefully it will get traction.

I do understand it being more complicated situation with audiobooks, since back in the day they used to be CDs and no illustrations were provided. However, audiobooks are more often digital and with this format could include a pdf of the illustrations and maps. Especially with how common audiobooks have become in recent years. I just want to appreciate the artistry in the illustrations that complement the story.

Since I am the customer purchasing the product wouldn’t it be the seller’s responsibility supplying the product to contact their supplier to ensure they provide all of the goods that should be included within the product their selling?

Or at the very least can the seller provide the feedback to their supplier to consider bundling the images with their product (audiobook)?

I do not see how it falls to the customer to follow up with every publisher they purchase an audiobook from to include the images already in the ebook the seller is selling. In addition the ebook is being sold at a lower price than the audiobook, but the audiobooks don’t get the images, this does not seem reasonable.

Also I know Audible provides illustrations with their audiobooks, so if it is up to the publisher, then why is there a discrepancy between the iBook Store and other stores?
