If you had just said it was a different method, I would have agreed 100%.

What is your argument here? I do not see anything that argues for that listening cannot be an inferior method. You are just saying that you personally did not notice any difference.
I do not have any strong opinion about this but I think that it is possible that one method is inferior compared to the other method. Personally the experience listening to a book does not work do me and if I manage to listen the experience is totally inferior to reading the text. Different parts of the brains seems to be used when listening compared to when reading and for me it gives a totally difeerent experience.
