I can plug one up in my car and listen to it whilst driving, and then of course the 'main' book I inhale tends to be print (ebook, pdf, paperback, etc). Also, I always READ a book first before listening - so the audiobooks become a sort of entertainment for me during my drive to and from work rather than an unfolding of a story (as I've already read it).
Same goes for me. I don't own or listen to any audio books that I haven't already read in printed form.

Oh my god you write in your books!? I could never......... this actually was just so shocking to me I choked as if you'd burned one.
I've only ever done it with my RotE books. I have a couple of posts about this state of affairs somewhere around here...

Will have a look but I know we discussed it quite a bit in the 'Small, random questions about RotE that still bother you' thread.

So there most definitely are Tawny Audiobooks available. If they aren't on audible.com or any other audio book online store, there's probably a Library of Congress version (for the blind). I'll ask him.
That would be terrific, thanks.
