Kindle Hybrid?

With Amazon's acquisition of Audible.com Brad Stone speculates, "What comes after that? How about a service that allows you to seamlessly switch from reading a book on your digital device to listening to the same book read aloud as you get in the car, or if your eyes are tired, or if you simply want to hear a crucial scene acted out? And then to switch back to the printed page?"

Amazon.com Just Purchased Audible.com and What Will that Mean for the Future of Audiobooks?

When Kindle first arrived at our Library I was impressed with the ease of use and readability of the device, but I've been downloading audiobooks more the past couple of years than ebooks. The first thing I thought was - if I could just download audiobooks, then I might just have to buy one of these things.

One of my staff was able to download an audiobook to the Kindle, but it was a bit tricky and the process was less intuitive than downloading an ebook. I'm wondering now if Amazon intends on buyers using the Kindle for audiobooks as well as ebooks. Will we soon be seeing a Kindle Plus being advertised in the near future?
