Funny thing those audiobooks. I am very biased. Audiobooks make me aggressive and I want to stop playback. Something always bothers me:

- Not the exact and therefore perfect reading speed as the voice in my head.

- Tonality of the narrator's voice not to my liking. Or wrong emphasis or weird intonation... etc.

- I can't skip text to find the important stuff.

- Whatever else comes to mind.

Audiobooks easily put me in the opposite state of "relaxed" and I retain only my bad feelings but zero information.
