Audible is Amazon. But only a subset of Audible's offerings are set up for Whispersync for Voice. I'm sure they would like all of them to have this capability (so they could sell more audiobooks and or ebooks), but there will always be some audiobooks without Kindle editions, and I get the impression that the process of setting up sync is not 100% automated, or that it requires some paperwork to clear the rights.
