Maybe some context. When I'm listening to audiobooks, I'm not just sitting there with my phone in my hand: I'm working out, cleaning, walking, cooking, bathing, etc, I'm doing all the great things that audiobooks let me do in parallel to reading a book, and that's great.

However, this results in me having a harder time quickly pausing, rewinding, changing speed, which in turn makes me reflect less on the content I'm reading.




That's probably pretty common. I do it while driving and find it very easy to change speed or rewind on the fly.

I think the fact that I am driving and have some amount of my focus on that is a bigger differentiator vs a physical book for me.
