A pretty vague question I know, but I'm not looking for any specific answer. I'm just curious what peoples thoughts are on audiobooks. Perhaps how you think they compare to paper books or how listening compares to reading. Any thoughts you have on the subject is welcome.

Most books 36-48 hours of listening? Hmm?

So here are the ones I've done in the past few weeks:
Project Hail Mary: 496 pages, audiobook 16 hours 11 minutes
The Martian: 416 pages, 10 hours 53 minutes
We are legion (We are Bob): 308 pages, 9 hours 30 minutes

So say about 30-40 pages per hour, which would put 36-48 hours at about 1100-1900 pages.
