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 have read hundreds of books since my 'discovery' of audio books about 15 years ago.

I have read books of genres I would never ever be able to physically read.

They have helped save my sanity - possibly my life.

I am a better human now because of them.

I suggest them to everyone.
