Honestly I'm more of an ebook guy. However, there is something you can do with audiobooks that you can't really do with ebooks — experience them together with a small group of other people.
My first time listening to a book together with friends was over a car ride. But then, me and my friends got into this book series, and we listened to it together over Discord.
There's probably a neat parallel to be made with listening to a story around a campfire.
Nonetheless, mostly I stick to ebooks. There is something to be said for reading at your own pace, not the pace of the narrator.
