I like audiobooks - I listen when I'm out walking - but of course you won't get correct spellings from them. The trade-off is that a good narrator will do accents. There are some British narrators who a great job with the various British accents. The Cork O'Connor narrator isn't all that great with the Minnesota accents, especially the Ojibwe (which is pretty distinctive), but he isn't terrible.
