I've only bought the Tiffany books as ebooks (when on offer) as I already have all the books on paper, mostly bought as they were published in paperback, but some (5) in hardback.
I'd never buy audio books now. In the past I'd occasionally listen to a book (not a dramatic production) on BBC R4 and then if any good I'd buy and read the book. I discovered decades ago I can't listen to an audio book and do something else, especially drive. I did try them from the library as well as the ones on BBC R4 and once bought a few of Narnia, but they were distracting with added music.
My daughter reads a lot of Fantasy and prefers books to the Movie versions. She says her BGI is better than Hollywood CGI effects. Brain Graphical Interface.

The only other thing I can do while listening to an audiobook is take the dog for a walk. But I mostly listen before going to sleep while in bed. The GraphicAudio books are just like listening to a BBC R4 production.
The best productions BBC R4 ever did was the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books.
