That's exactly when - and how - I listen to audiobooks too. They make my 45 minutes commute each way to and from work enjoyable and are GREAT on long drives too - because, unlike music, they require a certain amount concentration, they keep me alert and stop me from falling asleep. I regard them as a completely different "experience" to reading; I'd certainly never mix the two.
I've just bought a new car which has a built-in iPod interface - it plugs into a docking port in the glove box, and I can fully control it, see all my books, etc, on the display of the car radio. Works great! The world's most expensive iPod accessory
