I prefer the real thing,rather than listining to it,nothing is better then having a book in your hands.

Reading audio books makes me feel so bored but I do it when it comes to school assignments.

I haven't listened to an audiobook since I was a little kid! Honestly, I forgot they existed! I might have to try it out again sometime soon.

I'm a fan of reading it myself. Otherwise I fail to pay attention.

the real thing - I like to make up their voices in my head as I read. I tried listening to a book once and the main guy sounded like a total whimp, not what I had in my mind. I was so disappointed that I didn't finish it.

I like to use audiobooks when I am driving

Still like actually holding the book... Audiobooks seem to go too slow for me!

I don't think I'd be able to keep paying attention for an audio book. The only audio story I've ever played/heard was the BFG on tape cassette when I was a looot younger. I'd miss too much in audio format I think. I don't have that kind of concentration. Plus words give me a much more visual representation of the action.

I've never got into audio books, I tried one once and it put me to sleep.

Real reading. I can never pay fully attention to audiobooks.

I love audiobooks especially the ones that are read by a whole cast and really it's the only way to read H.P Lovecraft's radio play style stories. It's also great for work when I'm doing something tedious it keeps my mind alert and stops me feeling sleepy.

I prefer the real thing but if I am busy I would like an audiobook to read.

I rather read the book. When listening to someone read I get distracted and have no idea what was read, but when I read it myself I am completely engrossed into the book.
