I'm not.

Amazon supports audiobooks because they saw how the two could be integrated. In fact, the very first Kindle played Audible audiobooks (that's how far back Amazon was planning this).

Kobo, on the other hand, supports audiobooks out of a "checkbox" motivation. It's not a feature they planned to include in their platform but they had to add because it is expected.

I don't expect them to ever add audiobooks to their ereaders.
