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 occasionally buy a hardcover of a book I listened to on audiobook if I really liked it. Sometimes I'll even switch back and forth on the same book depending on if I have the time to sit down and read paper.

I’ve been doing this for the more complex books with a lot of world building.
