Now there's something I can't combine. I've tried. Doesn't work at all for me.<p>I'm either programming and missing out on the audio and replaying sections over and over, maybe I feel at the end I never really read it, or I'm engrossed in the wonderful book and programming? What programming?<p>Music works far better as it seems to need a different channel in my brain. If vocals are too engaging they can sometimes pull me out just as an audiobook can.
