I still like to hold the book in my hands, call me old school.
I wouldn’t call you old school in that regard.
However that is realistically some limitation. I keep an eye on audio book popularity from time to time because we are creating them, and ours are all free/public domain.
We can give as many copies to as many people as we want without the limitation of cost/price or a physical item. In theory anyways. I do run into people from time to time who ask for the link to the text after we transform something. I think that is also useful.
I do too; but a lot of housework and other chores are kind of mindless, and I like to listen to something interesting while I work.
I’ve found I can’t do fiction audiobooks; I have to actually read fiction; but I like audio nonfiction, various lectures, podcasts, etc.
' I was the same way UNTIL I started using Audible. For one thing by listening to books instead of reading, you don't put strain on your eyes. Also, I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and I go to my audio book which after 10 or 15 minutes gets me back to sleep again. I set the audio until end of chapter and the next day go back to the last place I remembered before falling asleep.
Finally, it fights boredom. Wherever I go I have the audio books with me on the cellphone and can listen at anytime.
