How do you feel about audiobooks?

A pretty vague question I know, but I'm not looking for any specific answer. I'm just curious what peoples thoughts are on audiobooks. Perhaps how you think they compare to paper books or how listening compares to reading. Any thoughts you have on the subject is welcome.

Apparently I got old enough to require reading glasses now (FML) - so reading before bed isn't as easy an option.

So I found audiobooks via my local library (in the U.S.) that I can just download - w00t!

I still PREFER the old "dead-tree" format, but audiobooks have become a replacement.

And don't forget - you can increase the speed of the narrator if you feel like their speaking-cadence is too slow.
- For me, keeping my glasses on my bedside table while I'm sleeping works well.
  
  But...but...if your glasses are on the bedside table WHILE you're sleeping - how to you get any reading accomplished?!? ;)
  
  You've heard of sleepwalking. Why not sleepreading?
  
  I like you...your humor sounds as twisted as mine! Don't ever change!
