I had mostly stopped reading books for about ten years, but then discovered I could absolutely devour audiobooks. I “read” more books in 2019 than I had in the previous decade. I think it’s a combination of being able to listen while doing chores or commuting, and if the book is okay but not excellent, I can play a slow paced video game while listening and they add up to a worthwhile activity. I didn’t read much in 2020 since i had run out of books i wanted to read and the audible subscription wasn’t worth renewing, but i’ve slowly added enough to my wishlist that I’ll re-up once i find one or two more. It’s not that other things are competing, I just find it hard to find true novelty.
