lol I mention audiobooks as 90% of my reading (because I'm working through different stuff on my ereader) and no one has said anything yet.

I think there's value in reading with your eyes, but at the end of the day I have 50+ hours a week I can listen to audiobooks while doing other shit, and that's a lot more content. For most (nonfiction), my retention is pretty comparable with audio, too.

If you haven't tried adjusting the speed, it's surprising how quickly you adapt to it as a new normal.
