I don't know for sure but I have theories.
1. Because the first Reader was the product of the audio department, they added it just because they could.
2. They needed it even if for a checkmark in the feature list. Many people compare competing devices by features, and if the Reader was missing the audio and some other device had it, many might have chosen the other, even though it might have been a really crappy implementation in reality.
