I used to love to read

I find it difficult to find the time to do so these days. I discovered audio books about a year ago and now I'm flying through books. What are peoples opinions on audio books is it as beneficial as actual reading.

Personally it has allowed me to enjoy books again although I feel guilty that I'm not experiencing them in the intended format.

I think in our multitasking lives now the audiobooks are a blessing, it allows you to do other things yet have the enjoyment of a book. I find however that the narrator becomes more important than the author because if he/she is hard to listen to the book becomes unlistenable.
