> I find audiobooks are a better medium for consuming fiction. By doing so, you also save your time.

There should be a YMMV attached to this sentence because it's certainly not the case for me. The best that I get and retain comprehensibility of audio is 1.75x speed and that's still a lot slower than I can read the same text. Maybe the author meant that it saves time because you can do it in the car, whilst jogging/walking-dog, cleaning the house, etc. But in that case it's running on a background process (or at best time-sharing) which thwarts comprehensibility. YMMV
