A pretty vague question I know, but I’m not looking for any specific answer. I’m just curious what peoples thoughts are on audiobooks. Perhaps how you think they compare to paper books or how listening compares to reading. Any thoughts you have on the subject is welcome.

    I can’t keep my focus for a long time when I am listening to an audiobook. I drift away easily. I read everyday on my e-reader and I have no trouble focusing even when extremely tired. Listening to an audiobook makes me fall asleep.

      This is my biggest problem, but my eyesight is worse even with corrective glasses. I just listen a chapter at a time, it’s the only way I can do it.
