I love both.
I am a naturally fast reader, so I can get through ebooks quicker.
I do a lot of embroidery and audio books are great for this. Also for walking to the station and standing up on full trains.
Some readers are great. I love Stephen Fry's readings of Harry Potter (Jim Dale will always be linked in my mind to the Carry On movies) and Susan Erikson's readings of J.D. Robb.
It pays to research where to buy audio books at the best price and if cost is a big problem there is always podiobooks and Starshipsofa have done some free SF short stories.
As for falling asleep - listening to an old favourite is a great way to fall asleep. It doesn't matter about losing your place.
