The thing is I don't like listening to people reading from a text. It bored me to death. It sounds too robotic and too mechanical for me. Case in point , every time I watch a youtube video of someone giving a lecture from a text, I skip the lecture part and fast forward directly to the q&a section which is more lively.
Also, English is not my first language. I like to use the handy Kindle dictionary to look up a dictionary definition. The search function of the Kindle is also very useful. I can't do the foregoing with an audio book.
