I know nothing about cognitive differences between consuming material by reading or by listening. However, it's self-evident that in reading, the reader provides his own interpretation while a listener takes in another's interpretation and those are two very different things.
That said, I greatly enjoy audiobooks, which pleasantly while away time when my eyes or hands are otherwise occupied. And I really don't see why anyone cares how someone else describes the act of consuming audiobooks, and that goes for both camps.
