It's obvious that this is a "which is better, cats or dogs?" kind of question, but for me, audiobooks are a big NO! I just love reading, but cannot get into audiobooks at all. They frustrate and irritate me, and I can never get the sort of immersion I want from my fiction reading. The only audiobook I ever mildly enjoyed was Obama's first, read by him. THat made sense and broought the memories and recollections to life, for the obvious reason that they were his own. Other than that, nope, nlpe, NOPE. As Ozymango says, there's no "right" or "wrong" way, but since this thread is about personal preferences, I have no qualms in saying that listening to audiobooks is like haveing fingernails dragged across the chalkboard of my soul.
