Listening to audiobooks engages a different way of thinking than reading the written word does. Listening to audiobooks is not reading.

That isn’t to say it’s not fun or interesting or a way to occupy your mind but it’s not the same as reading.

    You do not need to keep replying to me with insults and vitriol. I’m not trying to fight you.

    I’m trying to make sure that anyone who reads your comments understands that audiobooks are not in any way a substitute for reading. I want you and anyone who also listens to podcasts or audiobooks or even those long yts to understand that they are different things.

    I think that’s an important thing to do because one of the biggest differences is the type of thought each one requires and reading the written word is associated with better cognitive outcomes as a person ages.

    I want you to live a long healthy life so I’m still replying :)
