I think that the OP is well within his rights to lay down the terms of his challenge.
I have no intention of reading 100 books next year, but I have responded because I think it will be fun to participate, and it will be fun to see if anything anyone else is reading looks interesting.
If people want to spend their free time listening to audios, it's OK with me. But that's not what the original challenge was. I think we see people declaring before we start that they intend to take the easy way out, and plan to claim they have met the challenge after doing so.

The point I was trying to make is that people should challenge themselves. There's nothing holding them back from creating a 100 book challenge of their own that meet their requirements. Someone that spends hours commuting will find unabridged audio books a godsend.
Someone who loves graphic novels could challenge themselves to read 100 (or whatever number) graphic novels a year etc. Obviously if they want to join THIS challenge it would reasonable to stick to the guidelines.
This year when I started the 100 books in 2010 thread, I set the goal for myself to read novels with more than 300 pages so 150 seems very doable.
