I almost never listened to audiobooks until a few years ago. I've been a voracious reader since I was pretty young but spending ten or more hours every week commuting by car was kind of killing that so I started listening to audiobooks and they have been a lifesaver. There are some books that I don't think work well in an audio format, but most of the time I think it's a resonable substitute for reading with my eyes (which is how I still consume about a third of my books by the way).
