Next, let’s look on as Amazon begins to unleash the potential of the Kindle as a mini-Amazon store in our hands.

Audible Audiobooks via WiFi to your Kindle 3 or Kindle WiFi

Amazon put out a post mentioning that over 50,000 Audible audiobooks are now available for download to the latest generation Kindles. The downloads are via WiFi which is understandable given audiobooks are gigantic in size.

This is just the first step. This suggests a Kindle Tablet with WiFi will arrive soon and will allow downloads of games and Android Apps and music and movies and books and audiobooks via WiFi. This move also suggests that Amazon does indeed view the Kindle as a means to sell Kindle owners everything.

  1. Amazon has been one of the partners in Audible.com since the very beginning, so it is not surprising that Kindle can now download audible.com books.
