Amazon Prime members now have access to new spoken word content through a new integration with subscription audio content provider Audible, the company announced. Now, if you’re an Amazon Prime member, you have access to Audible channels which normally would cost $14.95/month. You can’t be reading behind the wheel of a auto now, can now, and this is where audiobooks come in handy.

Amazon is tight-lipped about Prime membership subscribers, saying only that memberships are in the “tens of millions”. I’ll certainly give it a try during my next commute. Amazon is shaping into a media-focused information and entertainment community.
