There's no need to reposition what I wrote out. There is nothing "wrong" with listening to books -- from a professional reader or your gran. It's an alternative.
But it is not the same experience as actually reading them to yourself. Reading a print book, reading an ebook: if it's the same book, it's the same book experience and the same set of literacy skills exercised to consume it.
I am concerned that a frightening number of participants in a forum dedicated to reading books don't actually read them. Listening skills, and reading comprehension skills, are different.
