This gives me another world of possibilities beyond Audible.com, iTunes, direct from publishers, etc. But that’s longer term.

An apparently new feature to post every “first Friday” of the month: “On the First Friday of every month, Audible will present a selection of exciting books, new in audio. Load up for the weekend and enjoy.”
From what I can see, this means previously released books that are now new in audio. For this first “first Friday” this includes a large selection of Kevin J. Anderson novels, including his 1988 novel Resurrection, Inc.
