As a mature woman (74) I find audiobooks the same as reading. I like fiction stories. Often there are a number of characters. Keeping them straight is a bit harder in Audio than print form because it is a bit harder to go back and double check.

I have read that following action and characters in books is good brain exercise.

Since I am often knitting while I listen to a book it adds a bit of a challenge, but I want to keep my brain working well
