When do you listen to audio books?

jjr1214 · March 2014

I finally joined audible a couple of weeks ago after a friend raved about being able to sync audio and the kindle book. I love being able to turn chore time into reading time! So far besides driving, cleaning is my favorite time to listen. What is your favorite time to listen to audio books? Any tips or tricks I should know about audible?

I listen when I exercise.

All the time. I listen in the car, doing chores, exercising, walking, pretty much all day.

At work, in the car, gardening, working out, cleaning, crocheting, sometimes in the shower and while getting ready

Lately at work during my prep period, and while driving.

I mostly listen when I'm driving or walking from my car to my office and other places on campus. Sometimes when I'm folding laundry too.

Mostly while driving. I also incorporate it into mindless chores, like putting away laundry or cleaning. I struggle with anything that takes actual focus.

Also as far as tip and tricks: the app is fantastic, for me a lot of books audio books are available on overdrive through my library so I always check there first and only get books I really want to read but aren't available at the library with my credits. If possible I wait for 2 for 1 sales. Also sign up for the daily deals email.

I drive a lot for work so I listen while in the car.

I listen to audio books mostly on long car trips.

When I was working I walked a lot -- to and from the office/court house, to/from the office/post office, etc. -- and I would listen to audio books on the walks (I'd have one earbud in and one ear free to hear traffic and other noises necessary to pedestrian safety).

Lately though, I have been listening to audiobooks while trying to fall back to sleep when I wake in the middle of the night. This means I listen to many chapters over and over, so I use books I either have already read/heard or books that I don't have to follow closely. I really like the single reader Librivox recordings for this use.

This exactly. I also try and walk my dog everyday, and I listen then. And in the car.

Most of the places mentioned above. Also at work when I'm doing something that doesn't require a huge amount of concentration.

While driving or cleaning or sewing/painting/crafting at home. I'm looking into a waterproof mp3 player so I could listen while I swim.

driving mostly. I'll also listen while I'm walking.
