They really didn't think that through.
And I agree, what is this doing in an ebook sale to begin with?

Agreed. It just feels really slimy. It makes sense for the weekly sales because they have set prices everywhere.
I guess I'm the odd one out on the audiobook.
I don't mind that they included one, but I don't like that it's completely separate from what's included in the bundle. If Homeland and/or Little Brother were a part of it, then paying a bit extra for the audiobook would make sense. (Granted, they have not done the big reveal, so who knows.)

Typically a week into a Humble Bundle (the halfway point), they add additional titles to bump up sales.

After thinking about it, I get it now. I was just being a grump because I don't like "known" surprises and I needed to think outside of my own preferences.
(The second week reveal has never made me change my mind about not purchasing a bundle.)
But it's a pretty good marketing strategy, I don't imagine they'd still be doing it if it wasn't working.
