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.

    Apparently I got old enough to require reading glasses now (FML) - so reading before bed isn’t as easy an option.

    So I found audiobooks via my local library (in the U.S.) that I can just download - w00t!

    I still PREFER the old “dead-tree” format, but audiobooks have become a replacement.

    And don’t forget - you can increase the speed of the narrator if you feel like their speaking-cadence is too slow.

        But…but…if your glasses are on the bedside table WHILE you’re sleeping - how to you get any reading accomplished?!? ;)
