Horses for courses as someone already said. I read a lot (not as much as some of you) but I listen to audiobooks in places where I can't read. I find I do better with an audiobook on the train, for example, or when driving short distances. I tend not to do audiobooks on long trips because I become very absorbed and that distracts me from safe driving. And sometimes my eyes are just too tired for reading, so I listen instead. I listened to Stephen Fry reading Harry Potter (the first 6 books) when I was doing the exercise bike thing in the early morning before work. Theres good reason for both.
