If the book is non-fiction, a lot of it depends on the person.

When the book in question is non-fiction, the person often wishes to retain (learn) the information in the book; with fiction that is not nearly so much an issue. Some people learn better by the ear (listening), while others learn better by the eye (reading).

As far as I'm concerned, I think that I am a far better learner by reading than listening. However, I do buy a lot of audiobooks, because there are a lot of situations when I can listen, but I cannot read. I reason that using the time to gain a little bit of knowledge, by listening, is better than gaining no knowledge at all during that time.
