Audible vs Physical Books

Just wanted to check people’s views on books via audibles. I somehow feel that I retain less of the books that I heard vs read. You may retain the stories broadly but not so much the critical words or phrases.

Physical if the book is technically heavy. Audible for stories, philosophy, history.

But somehow doesn’t stories also lose things when you hear them?

I'd say no to audiobooks on philosophies.

As someone that reads a lot, audiobooks are awful unless it's for a timepass.

I usually read the book on digital and then buy it physically if I find it very useful or if it's something I want my family and others to read.

No disrespect but I have only used audible when I want to sleep quickly. Always found myself distracted when listening to audiobooks.

Kindle on app or device is much better as it helps in not managing the hoard of books that I read. Still sometimes prefer physical books to read some great ones.
