I had the same issue. I don't think that I ever finished that audiobook and didn't buy any of the other WOT books as audiobooks, though I do have them all in ebook and the first 10 or so in hardback. I have read the dead tree/ebook version a number of times, mostly because it's pretty easy to scan through the slow sections. That's the downside to audiobooks, those slow sections really stand out.
The WOT is one of those series that, IMPO, would have been a lot better off if it had been edited down to 5 or 6 books. There is a lot of repetitive scenes and whole books that don't really move the action forward. Let's face it, how often does one need to read about naked women getting switched?
