I like listening to nonfiction more so than reading it, a good nonfiction audiobook feels like a good lecture. (self.nonfiction)

I have the opposite, but then I’m not that good with audiobooks to start with. In non fiction, I like the freedom to go back to precious concepts, and audiobooks don’t do it well. Honestly, that’s the reason I like physical books over everything…

Except you'll forget 90% of the content before even finishing the book.

You're probably right but I more so like to enjoy the journey when it comes to reading more than anything

When it comes to listening* 😅 But yes, I get it.

I listen to nonfiction audiobooks too, only when I am sure that the book's content isn't of substantial value to me (e.g. not my academic field).

Interesting - I find I tend to disconnect when listening to audiobooks (non fiction or other) Perhaps because I listen to music a lot while working/concentrating on other things. I lose track and find I’m not really paying attention to the detail.
