Sony doesn't need a deal with Amazon to enable Audible support.
All they need to do is return audio capability to T1-levels and allow installation of android apps (Audible.apk!) without rooting.
Audible works real nice on the rooted T1 which is, to all effects, an eink tablet.
The Amazon android appstore even recognizes it and reports which apps are compatible and not.

Me, I hope that breaking the fall intro cycle means they're going to market it as an eink android tablet. But, if it's going to the FCC next month, the announcement will likely be in June with shipment in july-august, so they're not rushing *that* much.
