Grrrr, I Hate This Kind Of Book!

I have started a new book, and it one of the ones where each page is a different width. Why to publishers do this? Do they think that it is charming and makes the book look handmade or are they just putting them together on the cheap by using left over pages from books of all different sizes? Because it is really annoying. It makes it totally impossible to flip through the pages at any speed, and simply turning one as you go takes a break in concentration that really ruins the enjoyment of the story. I hate it, and I hope that all publishers read this and abandon the practice immediately.
