It depends on the book. This style of reading is suitable for textbooks and journal articles, but does not work for fiction, where reading order can be quite important.
I also listen, as I've done for 40 years since my first SpeechThing. Now I have end-to-end harmonic mixing thrown in. I automate Firefox scraping of daily articles, but for longer books, I read as much as I want and when the session closes the remainder is queued up at the rear, so I get back into those queued books in the quiet weekends when then articles are exhausted. I listen from very early morning until midday.

True, you cannot absorb fiction when you're skimming a book.

I'm not familiar with the tech; what is harmonic mixing for audio book readouts? Would you please elaborate?
What you're describing requires a level of literacy possessed by less than 10% of the adult population.
Thank you, this has been very helpful information
I like to listen instead of reading books.
