I sent an email to audible about 6 months ago asking them to either support 
maemo or publish an api so someone could write an opensource version.  They 
emailed back saying something like "we don't provide" software for each 
platform, the platform has to.  So I guess in the case of audible either 
nokia will do it under some sort of nda/binary and audible  isn't willing to 
allow it to be done in a different way.  I even tried to explain that I'm 
sure myself as well as others would purchase books through  their service if 
only it was available for my hardware platform of choice.

just two cents
