Do you listen to Audiobooks?

[Christian Bowler]

I personally do and like to borrow audio books from the library on CD.

 

[rhawk]

No, I prefer to read books, not listen to them.

Yes, I like to listen to G.K. Chesterton's mystery stories in the car.

 

[Ignatius the Kiwi]

Yes, I definitely listen to audiobooks and can't recomend them enough.

 

[After God's Heart]

I enjoy both physical reading and listening to audio books. Audiobooks or listening to the Bible is particularly great for driving or while doing something mundane like washing the dishes or painting your nails

I've never listened to an audiobook in my life. I'm considering starting though, but I don't feel like if I did, that I could say "oh yeah I read x" because I wouldn't technically be reading it, but listening to it be read.

It's hard to stay focused while listening to audiobooks for me. When I need to remember all the information I read, I prefer to use paper books (or e-books, but I need to look at words).

I borrow audiobooks, ebooks as well, from Colorado Overdrive which is an online library for members of libraries across the state.

 

[DragonFox91]

No it's too obvious to me they're reading it lol & I don't like that.

I daze off too & miss parts & have to rewind

I had a friend that delivered food to stores. He loved listening to audiobooks while driving. I've only done it occasionally because it is somewhat challenging to maintain focus.

hoping I get through them before library due date

 

[bèlla]

I use Overdrive and Hoopla Digital (both free) and subscribe to Scribd. They have a larger catalog.

I've been listening to the old Ellery Queen mysteries lately.

I really like to listen to audiobooks because I can listen them during doing repetitive things that don't require thinking. In fact, every ebook can be an audiobook. On mobile phone there are apps that can convert a text into speech. It's really cool

I like listening to David Suchet (Hercule Poirot) read the Bible. It allows me to listen to God's word while multitasking with other things.

About a year ago, I listened to the audiobook of the original "Pinocchio" when I was sick with a cold.

If you thought Disney's version was dark, listen to the original.

I actually never listened to him but heard a lot.
and in general, I think I listen to audiobooks and read book 50/50
but when I have more free time, then of course, I prefer reading
