    Well, anyone?

    Do you listen while commuting, driving, working, relaxing, etc.?

    I've recently started a trial subscription with Audible.com. I plan to listen to a book whenever I can, especially during my daily drives. Might as well learn something new as well as improve oneself during the 1-2 hour daily commutes. Most "talk" coming from the radio is trash anyway.

    First book I'm listening to is "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" by Mark Manson, as narrated by Roger Wayne.

    As I understand it, if you use their app (Android, iOS, Windows, etc.) you can download the books where there's an internet connection and listen to them offline. If you use a web browser, it streams it live.

    Isn't it a bit distracting to listen to audio books while one is driving?

    I've seen audio books versions of interesting novels at fully booked before and i was tempted to try it out

    I have never tried novels or self-development audiobooks, but I've listened to countless technology podcasts while driving. No difference from your typical talk-radio... beyond the fact that you can actually learn something tangible from audiobooks/podcasts.

    So, nobody has tried it?
