Won't the founders of Podiobooks.com be surprised? Did VW ever win the law suit hen Chrysler said they invented the minivan? I think Amazon made a big mistake not making them self a podcatcher. 1 to 4 times a day I go to itunes to update podcasts but I can't buy anything there because of the DRM (I think that might be a Latin abbreviation for useless as teats on a bull) on purchase but not on podcast so I can use podcast on any brand mp3 player I want to use.

at least the voices think so they did not invent podiobooks or podasting, they just jumped on the band wagon and the general public is too gulible not to believe them when they state that they "INVENTED" them * It's all about the Numbers, my friends The Math god

I still have not found any new information about Amazon.com's claims yet.

When Sigler becomes overlord, he will destroy any and every podcast server in the universe and erect a gigantic podcast tower on each continent in the shape of a giant purple phallus....

I just lost my lunch...

...at lest at Amazon.com's web site I still cannot find any claims that they started downloading audio books. I DID find their trying to be a publisher of audio books, and sponsor new writers for a larger feed. From the reading, I think they offer poor choices to start with them.

are you shure they said podio books...not audio books? Most audiobooks cost 30-50 bucks depending on format

At the site audio books is stated.

thats a relief....Although I'm sure we all understand that "eventually" when pod casts reach a critical mass SOMEONE is going to find a way to directly monetize them and our free content go bye-bye

It was bad enough that we started paying for water but what else are we going to put up with. The reasons why we have pod casts is becaues they really allow for more people to openly and publicly voice opinions and thoughts this would destroy what they stand for.
