The problem is this issue might have taken years to deal with and would have been a serious distraction from working to get people to adopt the kindle.I do wish they would have only allowed authors to turn off the feature if a Audio Book was available.Also when is the kindle going to have Audible integration? Which i mean i can easily switch back and forth between the kindle and audible versions of the same book?
