Just going to start this. It's narrated by Jonathan Davis (BotNS, Snow Crash, Galapagos), so it can't be below average.

It's not reading and it is no replacement for reading. However, it is a useful form of passing the time while you are doing something laborious or physical. Listening to audibooks is equivalent to listening to podcasts. As for the reason it is not equivalent to reading is that it is a passive activity, the words just wash over you whether you understand or process them is irrelevant, it just keeps on playing. Therefore it is not conducive to true learning or understanding.

I've been listening to 900+ page non-fiction books that I would never have the time to read instead. And for that it is great.
Fiction on the other hand I don't understand. I've tried like three books, which I had to drop after 2 minutes. It's incredible just how much the interpretation the reader can ruin the experience. This has almost convinced me fiction audiobook readers are npcs

I can't. I just don't have the attention span for audiobooks, and tend to let my mind wander a lot, causing me not to absorb much information

moving your eyes along the page is a passive ctivity
reading is inherently a passive activity
you are consooming the thoughts of another man
you might as well chop off your dick and put on a dress
