If I were fairly new to audiobooks, or if the book has a complex structure, lots of notes, etc., I might feel differently. But I expect a straightforward novel that I'm reading basically for pleasure to work as an audiobook, and if it doesn't, the e-book won't work for me either.

There are times when an audiobook doesn't work, but reading the book does work. If you come across a narrator you don't care for, then the audiobook may not work. One book we read for the book club didn't work as an eBook, but did work better as an audiobook.
