Amazon and digital delivery
Posted in Uncategorized on 05. Feb, 2008
Last week, Amazon announced its acquisition of Audible, signaling their continuing interest in digital goods. This is a great move competitively and it compliments their existing digital delivery of movies, TV, music, and their digital book reader.
Amazon clearly wants to be a formidable player in the digital delivery arena. I am most excited about this move because every step they take into digital delivery is one step closer to selling virtual [world] goods.
Om Malik has a good write up on the acquisition if you happened to miss it.
Sure sounds like Amazon is gonna make a play for iTunes then, no? I know there’s a spot where you can enter your Audible ID…makes one wonder.
