I'm very much against audio books because I like to see words in order to stay focused on them but since I've already read the book several times, plus seen the movie even more than that, the audio book is a nice way to just be lazy and enjoy someone else doing all the work. I personally wouldn't download them nor would I if I was getting into a book for the first time. I'm one of those die hard book fans who isn't into the kindle or nook. But I love Stephen Fry and Harry Potter so combining them is pretty nice for me and it helps when going to sleep (as I read somewhere).
