For fiction, though, I find audiobooks can't be beat.

I agree with the fiction part, although I can't gather courage to listen to anything more than 12-13 hours long. Lately I have realised that I can listen everything including history books. Technical books that have graphs and pictures and footnotes is not possible at the moment but I am sure audible supported pdfs will make it easier eventually. My only problem is it takes so long to finish. Sometimes I simply have to buy the e-book as well if I am too impatient or the book is too long to listen through
