I find that I don’t retain as much when I listen to an audiobook. But it’s an okay experience for times when I just want to let the words wash over me.

my listens are limited to fiction and i'm as picky about the reader as I am about the narrative. I don't find that I have a drastic difference in experience from audio to page because I already limit both so much to my particular taste
