Starting and finishing a book in a single day can be supremely satisfying, but it's harder than it sounds. Finding time to dedicate to reading isn't easy, never mind several hours at a time. Audiobooks make reading more accessible, whether you're trying to fit in a read on your commute or you aren't able to see the text on a page.
