Two books at once - one on kindle, one on Audible

Does anyone else do this? I always have a book on the go -Audible for car journeys or to listen to hike walking or doing housework, and one of my kindle.

I’ve just finished The Last List of Mabel Baumont on my kindle and can honestly say I loved every word; I was invested from the first moment.

on Audible I’m listening to the Jigsaw Murders - very different, but intriguing.

I read around five-six books at a time. I struggle with non-fiction and plough through fiction so this keeps me interested.

Always! I have an audiobook for my walk to work/housework/journeys and a 'normal' book just for reading when I have a minute. I use BorrowBox a lot the audiobooks as you never know what you are going to get!

I’m usually reading at least one fiction and one non-fiction on my kindle, or the non-fiction may be a ‘real’ book. Then I often listen to one audible book during the day and another at night - then I choose one I’ve read/listened to frequently to help me get to sleep - I find Hugh Fraser reading Agatha Christie books are very good for this, as he has a nice even-toned voice and I’ve read AC so often I can go to sleep with it playing and pick up the story again if I wake during the night.

Always! Sometimes I have the same book on both (if it's a long one) so I can listen/read everywhere.

Always do this. I’m currently reading an Elly Griffiths and listening to an AS Byatt.

Two audio books, Miriam Margolis and Bob Mortimer's autobiographies read by themselves, and the 4th Netherweird chronicle by violet Fenn for reading.

Yep same. I have a longish commute to work so like to listen to a book in the car and then have another on the go on my kindle for the house.

Always! They tend to be different genres though. It would probably get confusing if you doubled up on the Mysteries or whatever. Also, if it's got romance of any sort it has to be physical or kindle. I can't listen to anything like that, total cringe
