A couple of years ago I discovered the MacOS accessibility feature "Speak selection" under "Accessibility > Spoken Content." I've set up a keyboard shortcut for it, which allows me to take any ebook in PDF format, select a bunch of text (usually one chapter) press the key and let the computer read it to me. Basically, it turn any text into an audio book, then listen while exercising, doing the dishes, cleaning the house, or simply when you like down and need a break.
I've never was a literary person (despite everyone else in my family reading a lot), but ever since this discovery I've been catching up on a lot of fiction, philosophy, psychology book, and pretty much anything that doesn't have code or equations. Highly recommended.
You can also use the `say` command, which can produce an audio file that you can load into a music player app, which might be more useful since it can remember your place. https://ss64.com/mac/say.html
