Why would anyone not read them?

These echo my thoughts. I'll read them when they are more convenient (cost, availability, etc.) but I just treat them like individual books when I get to them. I'm not that picky with my library so there is no point for me to split them into separate files. I don't go out looking for them except to price compare.
When I purchase an omnibus the cost is all assigned to just the first book in the omnibus unless it is a series I know I like all of. for example, I split the Narnia books into equal portions but I assigned all of the cost to the first book in the Outlander series when I got that omnibus since I haven't read them. $1.99 for the first 7 books was too much to pass up when it sounds like I might enjoy them, so $2 for just the first is ok even if I don't like them. (Of course that was 6 years ago and I still haven't tried it. I should have held off.)
