If the material isn't important to me, then maybe casual listening will work. But if I need to follow closely and understand, then audio is terrible. If I miss a word or mis-parse a sentence, I can't rescan.

I would much rather read than listen.

I find when trying to listen and focus that the back and forward (mostly back) buttons are indispensible and that having them set to a custom length for my attention span and typical concentration loss helps immensely.
