I still don't seem to be able to get into audio books. I try one every so often, but I find it hard to really concentrate on them and get "sucked into" the story. Usually, I end up doing other things while listening (thinking that this is an efficient use of time), but the split attention benefits neither the listening nor the other activity.
Audio books also don't spark my imagination in the same way a book does, in spite (or maybe because) of the voice acting. Plus, when I listen to them on the couch or in the bed, there is a good chance they'll put me to sleep (whereas books keep me up way past a sensible bed time).
I multitask a lot throughout the day, which may well be why I like to recreate with single-focus activities like reading a book on a single-purpose device.
