I listen as I drive to and from work (25-30 mins each way) and over lunch (~40 mins). For a little while this year I had a &lt;10 min commute, which was too short to start listening, and thus I missed my longer commute. I did Melbourne-Canberra-Sydney drives a few times this year, but usually mix it up with some podcasts rather than a single 8 hour session.<p>When you start an new audiobook, I find it takes time for me to warm to the narrator. Initially, some narrators can be quite grating, but eventually I get used to them.<p>I find I have to look out for when my mind wanders. The 30 second rewind button gets used a lot, though sometimes when I am still thinking about things from work on my drive home, I need to relisten to the entire 30 mins again. Its as if I paid no attention at all. The same for any driving that is not autopilot driving, e.g. to new places&#x2F;complex traffic-an audiobook is too distracting so I turn it off.<p>I wish the Audible app would put the 30 second rewind button on the lock screen rather than next&#x2F;previous track. Having to unlock just to rewind whilst driving sucks. The audible widget does not consistently appear on the lock screen.
