Amazon Launches Budget Tier for Its Audible Service

Devotees of Amazon's (NASDAQ: AMZN) Audible service will soon have a nearly half-priced budget option for their listening pleasure. Amazon announced Monday that it is previewing a new tier of the service called Audible Plus, which for $7.95 per month provides access to more than 11,000 titles of audiobooks and podcasts.
