    Audiobooks help me to read while walking or riding the exercise bike. If it wasn’t for them I’d probably not even finish one book per year.

      Personally, I think the motion of walking / riding / etc really helps me absorb audiobooks. It’s worked for me in the past, anyway.

      With my worsening disability, I spend most of my time now lying on my couch, and audiobooks don’t land the same for me. I get antsy, and unable to sit through them very well. But, what helps with that is some kind of simple game I can play, meanwhile. It’s like I need to be engaged if I’m going to listen…

        I get that. I started listening to audiobooks because of eye problems. They do work better in certain circumstances.
