The news comes a day after the e-commerce behemoth said it would lay off hundreds of employees in its streaming and studio business, as tech companies extend their massive job cuts over the past two years into 2024. "I want you to know that we're making these decisions to strengthen our business for the long term," Audible CEO Bob Carrigan wrote in the memo, according to the report. Amazon, which bought audiobook platform Audible for about $300 million in 2008, did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
