Well, yes. But I also blame Audible for having these books free of restrictions until a few weeks ago and then changing their status. What happened? Had they forgotten to put in the restrictions?
I was planning on buying a series of books. All were available. Now 3 out of 7 are restricted. How does that work? Why not all? And now I'm stuck with part 1 and unable to complete it.
Audible doesn't answer these questions. When I started to look into audiobooks I found that Downpour had a lot of geographic restrictions, which Audible didn't (seem to) have. So I went for Audible. Now I feel I've been lured by false promises.

And the stupid thing is I'm willing to pay, but this way I'm driven to torrents.
