So for eReader and audio book people, I'm curious - do you feel like you absorb and retain info from these new forms of books as effectively? I've just started using audiobooks from audible.com to catch up on some non-fiction "reading" I've been meaning to do and I'm curious for those that have used these forms of "reading" longer than me if you would say your overall benefit has been the same.

I'm sure that audio books are going to enable me to get through more content, because I can listen in the car, doing dishes, etc, but I'm wondering if that is offset by the fact that most of the time I'm mildly multitasking while listening. For sure, I've found that I can't listen to an audio book while working, its too distracting.
