I had a few false starts with audiobooks as well. This might sound counter-intuitive, but once I discovered smart phone apps where you can fine tune the playback speed, I was actually able to focus and digest the story easier and so that's when audiobooks became appealing to me. You can adjust speeds on ipods as well but there are so few options that every setting is too fast or too slow. It's great for me to play audiobooks on my phone because I don't have as much time as I'd like to sit and read, so I can be at the gym, cleaning the basement, mowing the lawn, etc. and still be "reading".
So I would suggest that, if you're interested. Smart Audiobook player is the best Android audiobook player - I've tried them all.
