I find that at the end of the day, my eyes are ready for a break and audiobooks provide entertainment & insight. My experience indicates that my retention rate for an audiobook is worse even though I listen to more overall content.

That said, I find it valuable to learn how a writer thinks more so than the technical details of each point they're trying to make. Right now I'm on a deep dive for an author...listening to ~100 hours of their material. It is somewhat like listening to 100 hours of their lecture. I learn different things while listening to a lecture than I do when reading.
