> As a consumer, when you buy an e-book or e-audiobook, it costs about the same or sometimes even less than the print book version.
That "even" looks out of place. Since I would expect some digital detritus that can be reproduced in unlimited copies at close to zero cost to cost less, then I would say that it "sometimes even costs more than the actual book".
It's not surprising when it's less; "even" adds emphasis on some parameter that has gone beyond expectation.
