I hear you. I've been an Audible subscriber for over 10 years, and I love audio books. But I don't find them much less "work" than reading. It's very easy to zone out, and more difficult than a book to get back on track.

I've resigned myself to keeping the non-fiction light, and going in with the understanding I'll probably have to listen to the book a few times.
