I kind of agree with this. I listen to audiobooks while doing house tasks or driving, but find that I can't follow it if I'm doing anything that requires thought. Distraction makes it not worth while.

Yeah. Even thinking about something while driving home from work "ruins" an audiobook for me and I absorb nothing. Which I guess is similar to reading a physical book. The only difference is with a physical book, if you aren't paying attention you usually don't make any progress (though occasionally I'll find myself reading on autopilot and have to go back a few pages when I catch myself).
