As a person who loves reading but recently has little time for it, I tried to switch to audiobooks. However, I keep catching myself losing attention while trying to concentrate on the audiobook. I find myself scrolling back on the recording to catch up on things I missed, and it’s highly frustrating. It puzzles me because I can easily read a physical book in a public place, but I can’t seem to listen to an audiobook in a public setting.
Has anyone else experienced this problem with audiobooks? Do you consider it a good alternative to a physical book when there’s no possibility or time to read a book?
The struggle is real. I usually fall asleep within 5 minutes listening to an audiobook. Sometimes, I’ll sit really still and listening like someone is reading to me. That only last a couple minutes. I haven’t found an audible voice narrator I liked yet.
