While I do enjoy, Audio books, the time investment can be a bit of a drag. I can usually finish a book in a tenth of the time it would take for me to listen to it.
As I don't commute, the time i usually have for audio books is when excising or before going to bed.
However as mentioned, one of the pitfalls of listening when going to bed is that you often fall asleep while the book keeps playing. So I end up backtracking a lot.
this.
One of the key advantages of an E-book is that you can snatch a few minutes of reading whenever you have time, and can easily intrupt it answer someone, or do somthing and get back to it without missing anything.
With an audiobook, what often happens is that someone tries to talk to me, out come the headphone. When I finish, spend time trying to remember where I had gotten to, scroll back, and start again.
