Audible pop quiz

Listening comprehension is as important as reading comprehension!

I wish I had more time to read. Transparently, I guess I could swap other media (videos games, TV) for reading, but the new Final Fantasy VII games on PS5 are simply too good. Also, my job involves processing a huge amount of dense information, so doing that in my free time is not always the most relaxing thing to do. That said, if anyone reading this has any good book recs, I’m open to hearing them.

With the audio books I listened to this past year, I did wonder at times if Amazon would ever consider adding “quizzes” for reading comprehension. This could be fun but also would be incredibly annoying/distracting if it disrupted the experience while driving, running, or doing other activities where phones are harder to access.

I think as an opt-in experience this could be a great feature. Forcing someone to restart the book if they get the answer wrong, that would make it a bit less fun.
