Besides the digital audiobooks, Audible.com also sells other spoken audio entertainment, information, and educational programming including radio, TV programs, and audio versions of magazines and newspapers in totally 150,000 audio programs. In March 2008, Audible was bought by Amazon.com and became the subsidiary of Amazon.
