Audible has signed a new marketing agreement with Amazon.com to provide digital spoken word products for download or streaming to Amazon.com's customers.

The non-exclusive alliance announced today follows the expiration of the original January 2000 marketing agreement between the two companies. Audible provides premium spoken audio services for content download and playback on personal computers, CD or AudibleReady computer-based mobile devices, including PDAs. Audible has more than 34,000 hours of audio programs and 135 content partners that include audiobook publishers, broadcasters, entertainers, magazine and newspaper publishers and business information providers.

"We are always looking for ways to make it easier for customers to find, discover and buy from Amazon.com," said Curtis Kopf, director of Amazon.com Digital. "By making Audible.com products available on our site, we make it easy for customers to find all the Audible titles that are available while also addressing their desire to use the Internet not only for the ease of ordering but for the convenience of online delivery."
