Do you listen to audiobooks? I started listening to audiobooks a couple of years ago (back in 2017). At first, I had mixed feelings about them, but now, I like them! I still prefer reading physical books and ebooks over listening to audiobooks, but nowadays, I do like to look into audiobooks as an option too.
If you’re on the fence about listening to audiobooks, here are some pros and cons to help you decide if they’re right for you to try out!
Do you like audiobooks? Why or why not?
i’ve enjoyed them – if I’m in the mood.
There’s something about curling up with a physical book and a cup of tea that you can’t beat. BUT, being able to workout while listening to audiobooks has been great for multitasking – it doesn’t take much mental energy to walk while listening so I don’t miss out. Commutes are useful to audiobooks – you don’t waste that time being on the road.
I agree with retention, however. It’s easy to miss details if your mind is elsewhere.
