Why is your reaction “I zone out therefore audiobooks aren’t for me” instead of “I zone out, therefore it would be a great idea to practice my listening skills”?

I’ve had huge issues with zoning out, wearing down the skip back button, skipping back a minute every two minutes, relistening to the same part five times. But it’s gotten better and better.

Now I often have blocks of 20 minutes where I don’t need to rewind.

Also keep in mind that some styles of writing (and narration!) are harder to follow than others. It might be the book/narrator that’s the issue and not the medium
