"Audible
is Amazon."
I know. That's why I don't think the Whispersync offerings will expand much or that Amazon will just offer straight Audible titles not connected to Whispersync. Played wrong, Amazon could damage the current Audible subscription service.
Currently, Audible has over 50,000 Whispersync titles in its catalog of over 150,000 titles. I have no idea how many of those are unique titles. Frequently, Audible will have more than one version of a title; and sometimes five or six versions.
