A pretty vague question I know, but I’m not looking for any specific answer. I’m just curious what peoples thoughts are on audiobooks. Perhaps how you think they compare to paper books or how listening compares to reading. Any thoughts you have on the subject is welcome.

    I love audiobooks. They’re easy to fit into found time, mostly as bed time reading, I just set it going and fall asleep. It’s a win-win, if I’m constantly re-reading the same chapter it’s because I’m getting lots of sleep. If I can’t sleep, at least I’m getting through the book.

    Reading a physical/e book means I’m awake with energy and willingness to do something, sure I could read, but I could be doing something else. I read a lot more as a kid, but I also had fewer responsibilities. Also less access to motorcycles, games consoles, bars etc.
