Having tried audio books, how do you pay attention? The second something catches my attention (or more likely I start reading something else) I completely zone out. Makes listening to anything important extremely tedious as ill likely rewind numerous times if not give up.
I only use audio books for pleasure reading, so I don't know if that counts as 'anything important'. As for focusing on the actual book, I've got decent dual focus, but I tend to aggressively pause my books when distracted to minimize that, and the app has an auto-rewind feature so it can roll back a bit (I have 30s) after a pause to cover anything you may have missed. Listening to a book or a podcast while driving/doing chores/anything that doesn't require much brain power is pretty normal for me.
