I read almost no nonfiction until I discovered audiobooks.? -- Laura Sackton
But they listen to podcasts and audiobooks.
It's just so easy.
It's Win-Win-Win.
The only requirement was a valid library card.
I want you to get your (short?) book recorded, distributed, and available in the audiobook market.
Is there a market for nonfiction authors (help with branding, marketing, etc.)?

I'm an audio guy. I like headphones in, walk in the woods with Pepper, and lay those decibels on me.
