That was exactly what I was getting at.
IN some instances an audio book is great. In other instances it does
not translate well.
I am a great fan of the Audio book reader on NPR, and he usually
reads light fiction which works well.
A more intense book, such as a work volume takes more time and study.

Not so. I have books read to me, sometimes by the author. I read a
book only when it is not available in an unabridged audiobook
format. Most are ripped from CD audiobooks in our county library
but I sometimes buy from Audible.
I don't think that would work well for me. My reading speed varies
depending on the content of the book. For most fiction, I zoom through
it faster than someone could read aloud. For programming books, I zip
through the bits that review topics with which I'm familiar, and slow
down when a new (to me) concept is explained. Books explaining some
of the math behind 3D graphics (for example), I plod through to soak
in as much knowledge as possible.
