Audiobooks take away the imaginative ideas of the readers experience of the tales. I like to imagine for myself the feelings of the characters in their given situations.

Audiobooks are also passive listening which is not cognitively absorbed as thoroughly as active reading. IMO you have not "read" a book if you just listened to someone read it to you. Reading with your own eyes engages more thinking processes, forcing the reader to think more about what they've read.
