It's certainly good to see publishers concentrating on adding value to their ebook offerings, but I don't know if this is really the way to go.

You can read the text and listen to Cave reading it at the same time - hmm, does this have any value beyond a few minutes of novelty? Maybe it will be useful for people with learning difficulties, or whose English is poor. I couldn't really see myself leaving such a feature turned on.
If you liked to read the book most of the time, but were then able to switch to the audio version in the car or something that would seem the best use of that feature.
