I have to take issue with the OP's comment disparaging audiobooks! While I much prefer to eye-read my books (I can read faster, and it's easy to flip back a page and recheck something, etc.) audiobooks have a definite place. Many people have either learning disabilities such as dyslexia that make eye-reading harder/exhausting, or they absorb more from audio than visual. It does not make them any less intellectual. One of my sons is dyslexic and struggled to learn to read. He can read well now but definitely absorbs more information than from visual content. I am exactly the opposite - much prefer to read something than to hear it or heaven forbid, watch a video clip (looking at you news sites)
But audiobooks are also a great way to be entertained or learn something while doing something else. I like to listen to audiobooks on long drives as well as when I am doing yard work or working on hobbies.
Books are being consumed either way.
