First, do you even like audio books? I have never listened to one.
If you have, what do you enjoy more between audio and reading?

I exclusively audiobook, always when I'm in the car, listen at 2x reading speed.

Go through a book every week or two depending on how much I'm driving.

And with the kindle app on my phone and iPad, I can easily do both with the same book and keep my place.
I will say, I’m very picky about the narrator, the voice makes or breaks it.

That's why I have never tried an e-book. I worry about the voice. I do guided meditation at times when I am in that frame a of mind and I can't get in the meditated zone with the wrong voice either. I just downloaded Kindle Unlimited and I think I am starting with The Art of Racing in the Rain while on a drive tomorrow. Seems like a simple book that might work. I checked out the voice and I think it will work.

Bill Bryson audiobooks read by the author are outstanding.***

Braiding Sweetgrass right now read by the author but it’s not for everyone
Like Scott Aiello - he does mostly thrillers like James Rollins stuff
Anything by Jim Dale, Lisette Lecat, Len Cariou are all good narrators paired with good authors
