I have recently started to warm to audiobooks. I mostly listen to them when I'm out walking the dog. I'm just starting to listen when I get into bed but am not terribly sleepy yet. I found that listening to short stories rather than novels is easier for me. I can finish one in two or three dog walks usually, so they don't drag on forever, leading to me getting distracted and forgetting plots/characters.
I also found that travel books - specifically, things like Bill Bryson's "In a Sunburned Country" - are good, since there's no plot to keep track of or characters you need to remember. Bryson's travel descriptions are humorous and just rolling descriptions of what happens next, you don't really need to remember what happened earlier to enjoy a current description.
