Books can be a form of entertainment or a way to get gain new knowledge. Listening to an audiobook does this whether its during your commute or while working out or just sitting outside on a nice day. It’s no different than listening to some boring NPR podcast, Serial, or whatever to pass the time in a productive way. Reading before bed is great and fulfilling, but taking a month to get through a dense nonfiction is not always ideal.
To say you have to consume a book by actually reading it every time is stupid. I can confidently say that Scott Brick can come up with better character voices and convey the author’s intent much better than just anyone.
