Audiobook vs. Physical Book: What is your preference?

I typically read audio books in the car and when I am walking during work breaks and traveling through parks. It is a very relaxing experience. Upstate NY is plentiful  of quiet parks to stroll through. Audio books are only good in low volume areas and requires you to pay attention. For example, I do not read my audio books on the expressway or highway (noise level and concentration level required). My co-worker listens to audio books when she's doing house cleaning and going outside. Stephen King (yes, that Stephen King) says he listens to audio books all the time, typically when he walks through his Maine estate.

Whether you go through Libby or Audible or Bookbub, you can always rewind and go back to the previous chapter. There are features that allow you to go back and go forward 15-30 seconds at a time. Having it read to you is a big benefit. The reader -- normally a stage actor -- reads the passages the way the author intends. When you're reading it on your own, you can at times miss the tone/intention. I typically read both ways -- physical and audio. But at the moment, I am really digging the audio books. I find them more relaxing.

Audio vs. physical is a mere style of taste. Coffee vs. Tea. Dark Chocolate vs. White Chocolate. Both are seen as "reading". Both require you to pay attention carefully and visualize the characters and their situations. My interpretation between the two is this: Physical Book people want to find a nice quiet corner of the room, and have their quiet time. Audio book people are constantly on the go, and want to accomplish two things at once. You also have people who have poor vision, people who are auditory learners (yours truly), and those have problems reading words on a page. My uncle for example is dyslexic and reads audio books.
