I love them. I'm old enough that anything that isn't backlit I can't read anymore. And I'm on screens all day at work, so my eyes get tired of that as well. I like to read at bedtime, and they say not to be on screens during that time as well. So audiobooks it is. It took me a while to get used to them, but now I love them. If you find a good narrator, it's such a great experience.
