This will almost certainly drive more people to pirated sources who would never have had any reason to bother before, and it will not dissuade actual pirates, so that's sure not a ligitimate reason even if they come out and say it is.

Also I believe it also makes it easier for them to track reader's history. I quit Audible a couple of years ago when they changed their files to "enhanced" which were only for use on phones. They want to track everything we do.

I hadn't considered that motive. I was trying to figure out how they were monetizing this. The only other legitimate motive I could think of is reducing the costs associated with maintaining two platforms.
