A bundle is integral: you get both in one transaction. Mandatory. In some cases, bundling is even illegal.
A qualified offer is two linked transactions. You don't *have* to accept the second part, though the retailer usually wants you to. In this case, having carried out the first transaction, you qualify for the second deal--which you can either accept or deny and the purchase of the ebook is not contingent on buying the audio book; just the converse.
With Amazon, you can still go back and get the audio book. With a classic BOGO, the qualified offer expires at the checkout when you accept or decline the second item. Most folks accept the second item but they are not forced to. And, infact, with BOGOHO deals many shoppers decline the second item.
If you ever bought print books at Amazon, you can go to their Matchbook page, mentioned above, and see which (if any) of those purchases qualify you for a discount on the ebook version. Prices vary so some offers are worth accepting while others aren't. Your choice. It's not tied together, like a bundle, merely linked.
