I first turned on to audiobooks back when I had a toddler/preschooler who couldn't have eyes taken off him outside, but needed many hours of outside playtime in order to not go stir crazy. Audiobooks saved me from quite a lot of interminable boredom.
Now, I mostly listen to spoken-word while shopping, driving, walking the dog, cooking, or crafting. However I have a pretty full roster of podcasts, so audiobooks only get a look-in now and then.
