In general, I don't see a lot of difference between listening to an audiobook and reading the same book, and I will occasionally alternate between reading and listening to a chapter.*
I think a *few* books need to be read...but fewer than I would have thought before I started listening to audiobooks regularly.
*I wish there were a way to sync e-books and audiobooks...I have a Kindle; Amazon owns audible; Amazon runs whispersync...they should get off of their [buttocks] and start working on it.
My workaround works okay - before I finish listening to my audiobook, I remember a distinctive word and search for it on my Kindle, then take off reading from that point (it doesn't have to be completely unique). When I read, I have to make sure that I stop reading at the end of a chapter. When I am back to the audiobook, I just skip to that chapter and continue listening.
It's really a pretty cool way of reading.
