Totally agree. Audiobooks for me are for long car rides or my daily walks.

Going for a walk with an audiobook is prime thinking time for me.

So much depends on the voice actor for me though if I can really get into the book or not.

Same here, and if the audiobook has ideas that grab my attention I'll often get the physical book to read later. I find that I can churn through several books a week and find a hidden gem in one that is worth following up.

I'll gladly pay one Audible credit and 3-5 hours of my time while at the gym or running to find out a book isn't worth buying than pay 2-3x as much for the paperback and 9-15 hours of my time dedicated to reading it to find out the same.
