I’ve found this too but I think audiobooks still have a place, they just can’t something you rely on being able to perfectly understand. A second book on the same topic or something in a topic loosely related but interesting. Or fiction to help stay awake on long road trips.

It's likely the same for me, but I tend to relisten to audiobooks I like, sometimes dozens of times. I have a hard time focusing on physical books, and I've probably only re-read a handful of them, so the net effect is that I take in more with a good audiobook.

I would like to learn to focus... (https://youtu.be/1IRn8BN3Qhw?t=331)

I agree. I use audiobooks for fiction. For learning I need to read the thing to really retain anything.
