I'm going back and forth between the ebook version of the Hobson and the Audible version, and the difference is a bit jarring.
Consider sending a request to Audible. They often take Audible member's suggestions and contact the publisher about doing an audiobook. I'll send one too - maybe that will help. I started listening to Three Musketeers (same one you have - I bought it on a special) last night. It's one of those books that I need quiet time without interruption, so maybe an hour a day before going to bed.

I never even considered that it needed translation. Really, I kid you not - I never even made the connection that Jules Verne wrote in french. So, so obvious.
