>"And this is a special book. It was the book my father used to read to me when I was sick, and I used to read it to your father. And today I'm gonna read it to you. The Turner Diaries by Willam Luther Pierce. That's right son, no more fairytales for you as you're big boy now. It's time for you to understand the real problems of our era and the dangers that await our race, the white race. You shall be ready for the day of the rope son and be ready to call to arms when the time is ready."

The perfect "audiobook", of course, is the kindly grandparent who narrates the bedtime story to you while you're tucked in and comfy. Nowadays it's probably more of a cultural artefact but it's entirely possible that audiobooks became popular among non-blind people as a possible surrogate grandparent. I personally prefer audio dramas instead of pure audiobooks.
