Oh yes! Like you I read audiobooks when doing travelling or running or doing any of the chores you mentioned. But on a few occasions I want to know the end sooner and that is when audiobooks feel a little slow
The biggest advantage of audiobooks for me is that I would have missed many amazing books had it not been for audible with with excellent narrators. Kafka on the shore by Haruki Murakami comes to my mind.
