This makes them less useful then they could be, but the amount of time necessary to convert them to text would be prohibitive for their organization (the work is done by volunteers).
If you can get a copy of Adobe Acrobat (not Reader), you can add your own bookmarks to their volumes, which would at least make accessing chapters and passages a little easier.
