I tend to read faster than I hear, which is why I usually prefer print. Even so, there's much to be said for dramatizations, especially in situations where print isn't feasible.

Frankly, if I could just get ebook publishers to quit squashing their default body text to "small" or even tinier, I'd be a lot happier. I mean, I'm capable of adjusting it in non-DRM'd books...but it wastes effort and shouldn't be necessary. Some of these books drop down to below 60% for their fine print; how's anyone supposed to read that, even on a Pearl screen?
