True. But it still amounts to them refusing to sell his audio. If you want to be pedantic, Amazon doesn't sell ebooks or audiobooks at all. They sell licenses to access the content. You can argue that Doctorow should be saying that he refuses to market his content in accordance with their policies. But I'm in favor of him framing it this way.
