> That is pretty rare with reading a book and is self-limiting. Within a minute you realize you have no idea what you have read and backtrack. But it can go on for potentially hours at a time with an audiobook, and backtracking is rarely done. Fwiw, I absolutely notice within a minute when I've stopped paying attention to an audiobook, and I use the skip backwards button to re-listen. No idea if that's common. I do have more trouble with podcasts, possibly because I typically listen to podcasts in the background while doing other things, and I don’t do that with audiobooks.
