Hmmm... while Amazon suggests using your device in your car to continue with a book, that might cause some issues with the distracted driving enforcers. Not to mention that 60,000 books is close to a rounding error in the current number of books sold by Amazon.

Of course, to make it easy for Canadians, using Amazon.ca's Audible Matchmaker page came up with a "Sorry, we didn't find any audio matches for your Kindle books". Running it from Amazon.com, it came up with 13 ebooks from my Amazon.ca account. The total cost for those 13 ebooks was $27 Cdn while it would cost me 97.37 US for the audio given that the Canadian site did not show any matches.
