 <title>Amazon&#039;s purchase of Audible triples Audible sales by end of Q3 YOY</title>
 <link>http://thestandard.com/predictions/suggestions/amazons-purchase-audible-will-triple-audibles-sales-end-q3-yoy</link>

&lt;p&gt;Due to the recent &lt;a href=&quot;/news/2008/01/31/update-amazon-buys-audible-us-300-million&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;purchase of Audible&lt;/a&gt; by Amazon having &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2008/03/11/5-reasons-why-amazon-is-calling-audible.aspx&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;nearly finalized&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;/news/2008/01/31/update-amazon-buys-audible-us-300-million&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, the Amazon marketing juggernaut will soon begin to properly promote Audible&#039;s internet delivered audio book content.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a prediction that the integration of Audible into the Amazon store and products will help drive Audible&#039;s 2008 Q3 YOY revenue by 3 fold. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The success of this prediction is dependent on Amazon taking a very active merchandising role in promoting Audible&#039;s downloadable content (and, we think removing Audible content from iTunes would be a disaster for all involved, but that is not part of this prediction).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; If due to the acquisition of Audible the income revenues are no longer separated out from Amazon&#039;s revenues (which seems doubtful, we believe Audible will continue as a separate brand/daughter company), this prediction will be judged at S$0. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(Ed. Note:  The Standard has modified this prediction based on community feedback.) &lt;/p&gt;
