Completely fair. I kind of like them. They did it for Redwall and I listen to those books on long drives sometimes. It works for me. Now I guess the advantage could be to have both versions and get to choose which you listen to--but even I'm skeptical that a corporation would have that much regard for the preferences of its consumers.
