Yes, it's clearly the next big push that's everywhere. I like audiobooks, buy only for certain genres, only when I can listen to them (I can't be on the computer typing or reading and listen to them at the same time, as an example), and I'm picky with narrators. It does seem like more of a push toward audio and away from print, but they're going with the market and money I guess.
