Greed.

That is the driving force behind the Author's Guild. The fear is that this technology will eat into audiobook sales. Right now there are four different profitable versions of books: Hardback, Paperback, Audio Book and E-Book. If the Kindle 2's technology combines Audio Books and E-Books then that will reduce the revenue stream.

Of course the impact is negligible now, but the Guild is looking down the road a bit when E-books become a major segment of the market.

IMHO.
