So all in all this strikes me as a tempest in a teapot and more of a "any stick to beat the publishers with" than anything else.

I met a Sudanese man once who was looking for exactly this kind of thing, it was because his English wasnt very good, and he loved to read, so he thought, quite sensibly, that if he were to hear the books, and be able to read along with them, that his comprehension and use of English would improve.
