Amazon, You Be Careful With Audible

Amazon Buys Audible.com

When ever I embark on a long trip or as I like to call it, "My drive to work." I make sure I always have my i-Pod in hand.  It is more important than my keys.  Because nothing spells commuting hell like the radio in Dallas.  I usually listen to my audio books on said i-pod.  Audible makes that nice and affordable and I've read hundreds of books through this way. 

However, Amazon has just purchased Audible.com for some amount of millions of dollars.  And I don't want them to change a thing.  I'd hate to see myself reduced to Dallas radio.  Some people consider it a short coming that the i-pods have no radios, but i consider that a blessing.
