Yes, I know it's not as easy as using a Kindle. But for me, I find that if I like the audiobook well enough, I won't be reading the eBook. And if I find I'm wanting to read the eBook, I'm not liking the audiobook well enough to listen to it.

I am listening to an audiobook and reading the pBook at the same time. It's The Last Hero by Terry Pratchett. I'm doing so because the pBook is heavily illustrated. The audiobook is read by Stephen Briggs and he does an excellent job with Discworld. His voices are very good and the way he reads works very well.

The Discworld book The Truth is funnier listened to then read because of the way Briggs reads the sound effects. I woke up my wife when I was listening to this because I could not help laughing.
