[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Audio books can enable you to multi task. Listen while you do chores, make dinner or commute.[/quote]

This is exactly why I do audio books. I love to have a physical book in my hand but that's just not feasible for me currently. Folding laundry, cleaning up after dinner, working out etc. are much more pleasant when listening to a good book![/quote]

Ugh I loathe audio books. Way too slow and I don’t want to hear someone else speaking, I want to just read it. I read next to my kids or sometimes while they are playing, if I don’t have immediate chores. Also after they’re in bed, and while commuting on metro. They are 7 and 10. 3 years ago I definitely read less as they needed a lot more immediate attention. Now I go to the library at least once a week to exchange books for me and the kids. It’s great.

Regarding the “too slow” part, all of the apps let you kick up the speed. For most books, 1.5x is actually the “normal” speak of natural speech. I listing at 1.75-2.5 depending on the narrator. [/quote]
