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 picked up Audible since I would have some long drives at my previous job. Now I use it for falling asleep. I put on a book, set the timer for 45 minutes and then the next night I just back it up to the last thing I recognize and reset the timer.
