    Me too! Sometimes (if the content is very "light") I can listen while working at my desk, but generally I get too engrossed in the story and end up not doing any work :-)

    I use my iPod, sometimes plugging it into my car. I can't work and listen... I get too distracted!

    I tried listening before bed, but I tended to nod off!

    I listen in the car on my iphone plugged into the sound system. I also listen in bed and often when I'm cooking. I find though that I do nod off when listening and then have to try to find my place the next day which can be tricky. It's handy though for when I can't sleep and my husband is snoring away.

    I listen on an iPod touch. At night I use it in conjunction with an iPhone app called iTired to keep my spot when I nod off. My vehicle has an audio jack in so I can listen while commuting as well. Between that and by listening via earbuds doing household chores and working out I get in 2-3h each day.
