listening to an audiobook aint the same as reading it
using different senses! youre on the go. you plug in and let the story be told to you like you're sitting with the speaker.
reading an ebook lets you take your time, your pace to let your imagination sink in and truly immerse yourself in a world of the book.
reading a physical paperback lets you immerse into the book with the feeling of taking a page and moving onto the next scene. a crucial detail is read later in the story and you can flip back thru each page recognizing the pages as you find the part you wanted to go over again. nothing like reading the last page and the book ends then you move on to another book, another world.
Your romantasizing paper. It's been proven that there is no cognitive difference between reading and listening. ---
