I have not tried downloading them as I am still pretty precious about my Kindle memory.

Steve - thanks for the insight into the process of creating audio books, congratulations on the books (both paper and audio). I wonder with the prevalence of iPods and other MP3 player MP3 based audio books will grow more popular and start to push out CDs. If bundling with an ebook takes hold this makes even more sense.

I would certainly give an ebook bundled with an mp3 audio (unabridged) some consideration. However I would not be keen to have to download both to my Kindle - although as I said I might just be being overly careful about my memory.
Do Kindles have a "resume" function for audio content? Sonys do not, which make them pretty useless for anything except music, short stories, and podcasts. Moreover, audio really sucks up the juice fast!
