[quote=Anonymous]It depends on the book. I find there are some books that don't worry as well for audio (for me), and then some books that are better in audio form. If the book features a variety of accents and the narrator is a good one, it's often better as an audiobook. If the narrator is weak then it's better as a regular book. It's harder to go back and skim pages as an audiobook and for that reason I don't like books that are very technical as audiobooks. I don't like listening to dry subject matter in audiobook form because I zone out. Some authors self-read their own books and that can be great, but it can also be terrible because they aren't good narrators. I don't like epistolary form books as audiobooks but I prefer biographies as audiobooks. Etc etc. You will have to find your own list of preferences. Often what I do is listen to the audiobook and then when it's done, I check the book out of the library so I can see various spellings I might have missed, etc. [/quote]
