Personally, I prefer to use my eyes rather than my ears to read and so, alas, audio books are not for me. Even so, other people enjoy listening, especially while travelling. Then of course, there are those with reading difficulties or poor eyesight for whom audio books are wonderful.
E-books are a different story and there is a real market out there for those who prefer reading from an iPad or similar, and there are libraries that are catering for them. There was a good story on this issue on The 7.30 Report some weeks ago when the iPad was launched.
We all have to move with the times. On Librivox I found some audio poems which will be useful for an upcoming task our Year 8 students will be working on.
