WAYNE, N.J. -- Audible, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADBL, www.audible.com), the Internet's leading provider of audio entertainment, information, and educational programming, today announced the launch of a new Web site and AudibleListener(R) membership program aimed at enhancing the user experience for the hundreds of thousands of customers who use Audible today and the millions of consumers expected to use it in the future. Launched on December 4, the new audible.com provides a new look, a more streamlined check out process, improved browsing and merchandising, and a new AudibleListener program with a significantly lower entry price point and flexibility in rolling over credits.

As part of the new AudibleListener program, the company introduced three new tiers to membership: Basic, Gold, and Platinum.

--30% off every audio program purchased on an a la carte basis;

--exclusive members-only sales;

--free access to a broad array of audio programs hand-picked by Audible's editorial staff.

The new AudibleListener Gold and Platinum membership programs cost only $14.95 and $22.95 per month, respectively, and provide members with benefits that include:

--a set number of credits per year that are good for almost every one of the more than 25,000 titles now available at audible.com (12 credits per year for Gold, 24 for Platinum - with discounts for those customers who want to buy all of their credits up front in new prepaid annual plans);

--the ability to roll over a certain amount of credits for as long as a membership is active;

--30% off every audio program purchased over the membership plan;

--a complementary daily audio subscription to The Wall Street Journal or The New York Times;

--free access to audio programs hand-picked by Audible's editorial staff;

--the ability to use credits to purchase audio for a friend or family member.

"We are lucky enough to have some of the most sophisticated and thoughtful customers in the world, and they have provided invaluable commentary about our service over the years. Our new Web site and membership plans are a direct reaction to what we have heard, " said Donald Katz, chairman and CEO of Audible, Inc. "We believe we have created a more flexible, convenient, valuable and, I hope, pleasurable way to be an Audible customer. I would like to thank our customers for helping us create a new Audible experience."

Following are some of the initial responses customers have written in on the new site and membership programs:

"I just wanted to take a minute and say how much I really like the new web site design. I have been an Audible member since 2001, and this is the best design yet. I love the book images, the layout, and the new design."

--Jeff Richards, Corona, California 

"First let me congratulate you on your site's makeover! There are a good number of nice improvements that I always missed in the older version... It appears that you now offer more 'lists of lists' and more efficient ways to browse through interesting content according to topic, etc. This is a huge gain..."

--Winfried Barchet, St. Louis, Missouri

"Awesome new program! The prepaid year and upfront balance are an excellent improvement."

--Timothy Garten, Wichita Falls, Texas 

"A great improvement! It encouraged me to rate all of the books I've listened to. Also, we joined the Platinum Membership, not just 'cause of the Web site, but it helped."
