Its a long time since I listened to an audio book, but I've been meaning to do it again as I love being read to. Of course it depends on who the reader is. As someone else said, the reader has to be on the same wavelength for maximum enjoyment. I also agree that listening to something is a good way of introducing you to new stuff. I am much more likely to persevere with a radio 4 book reading for instance, than a book that looks a bit iffy when I pick it up off the shop shelf, or start to read and get bored.
