A glimmer of a shadow of a possibility that Google Play will soon be offering audiobooks has the bibliophiles of the internet buzzing.

When a tech blog spotted a banner ad for audiobooks directly through Google's online store, Google Play, everyone jumped on their seemingly imminent arrival. There's only one issue: The link that was apparently from the ad last week is already a dead end.

But it seems like Google is ramping up for the eventual arrival of audiobooks available through Google Play, just like the ebooks, movies, and music that are already available for purchase. It's just a matter of when.

We reached out to Google for confirmation and any details about the upcoming addition to the online store.
