Amazon, call an Audible http://callanaudible.org Switch Audible off of DRM!

while Audible.com is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Amazon.com, it operates as an independent site as well as a separate customer service department and all inquiries regarding Audible.com services should be directed to Audible.com.

Which is totally contradictory to the statement in the Washington Post

Audible’s audio books are wrapped in a layer of DRM, which Amazon does not plan to remove unless customers start to complain, Herdener said.

Amazon needs to step out from the PR machine and speak up for it’s customers! Keep at it and the door knocking should bring someone eventually!

Boingboing.net you rule! I don’t think Amazon can miss this comment storm!

Time to get Amazon to use it’s business sense to get Audible off the DRM pill and on to better commoditizing web hosting, shipping, and maybe building a better e-reader!

Time for me to stop building and refining web code and start promoting and improving the network.
