Nearly all my friends who read a lot have converted over to audio books. I've tried but it just doesn't work for me except during very long drives. I don't know what it is.
I even have some trouble, not as much but some, using my Kindle Reader.... the Kindle is so handy, easy, but for some damn reason I just don't care for it very much. But I do use it today.... occasionally. Mostly, however, I used the Kindle reader on my laptop rather than the handheld Kindle.
