As some one else wrote: It feels like I got half the product compare to my friends in the UK and US who have bluetooth enabled and can set up the reader using bluetooth and listen to audible books on it!
Suffice to say, Audible has no problem with selling customers digital audiobooks, just not on the Kindle e-readers.
For some reason, Audible on the Kindle is not available in Canada. Amazon has never publicly disclosed why they do not want to sell Canadians audiobooks directly on the Kindle. Amazon has an audiobook player and the option to buy and listen to audiobooks on the Kindle in the United States, Japan and the UK for example. However, they do not have a help file or a list of supported countries, where Amazon allows people audiobook access. So it is utterly impossible to even find out in advance whether Audible is supported in your country. Amazon customer service says they don’t even have an internal list of supported countries either.
