Apple and Amazon end audiobook exclusivity deal


The Verge:

Apple and Amazon have agreed to end an exclusivity agreement that made Audible the only seller of audiobooks inside of iTunes.

The agreement had been in place for over a decade, since 2003, but came to an end earlier this month following complaints from German publishers and investigations by European antitrust regulators, who were concerned that the agreement was stifling competition and raising prices.

I forgot Amazon bought Audible. It seems sort of interesting given competition between the two companies they would maintain an exclusive agreement.
Anyway, I'm not sure this will change much, but hopefully we'll see additional options for audio books from Apple.
