Download Memberships; Purchaser Receives Valuable iPod Accessory

Audible, Inc. (OTC BB: ADBL) and Tweeter Home Entertainment Group today announced a retail promotion for the holiday shopping season and beyond. Tweeter customers who purchase the industry-leading Apple iPod portable digital audio player will be offered a membership at Audible.com, the leading provider of digitally delivered spoken word audio, featuring downloads of best-selling audiobooks, newspapers, magazines, radio programs, and original shows.

Tweeter's sales force will market to iPod customers the benefits of expanding the use of their iPod with an AudibleListener(R) membership. Those who sign up for Audible as part of their iPod purchase will receive a free wireless radio transmitter designed expressly to allow the iPod to work with virtually any car audio system.

Purchasers can choose one of Audible's unique membership plans to compliment their iPods. PremiumListener is a package of any two audiobooks from Audible's industry-leading collection of 6,000 titles for $19.95 per month. BasicListener, at $14.95 per month, consists of any one audiobook and one 1-month subscription from www.audible.com/subscriptions. (Audible's subscription center is the only news kiosk on the Internet for automatically delivered audio editions of national newspapers and magazines.)

"Audible's content will be a great value to Tweeter's customers as they seek the right combination of music and spoken word content for their iPods and other MP3-type devices," said Noah Herschman, Vice President, Strategic Business Development, Tweeter Home Entertainment Group. "Besides listening to music, our customers also like to listen to the morning edition of The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and National Public Radio. Audible gives our customers a choice, allowing them to save time while catching up on their reading - in the car, in the gym, etc. It is an excellent choice for those who want to make the most use of their new digital audio player or personal digital assistant."
