I listen to books all the time when I'm working from home, but I confess they are usually "fluff" titles; things where it won't matter if i miss details. I tried Audible, and while it is nice that they sometimes have titles that are hard to find, it was too pricey for me; I prefer using Overdrive and Hoopladigital from my public library.
The key to really managing audiobooks well as a daily routine lies in good quality wireless headphones, so you don't bother other people with the noise, and you are not physically tied to whatever device is playing the books. I prefer buds, and I like the kind with the magnets and a wire running behind my neck, so that I can take one out and let it hang and I don't lose track of them. Also, they are less expensive than true earbuds, so I have two sets, one to use and one to charge while I'm using the other one. I also listen in the car; I have mine synced up to Android Auto so it starts playing from my phone as soon as I get in the car; nothing to set up each time.
