Right now, though, we're discussing whether listening to an audiobook is less active than reading a printed book. It's a similar subject but very distinct and perhaps even more to the heart of the discussion. Perhaps on this we'll also have to agree to disagree, as I see the view that it's less active to use one's ears to consume a book as subtly condescending especially to those who consume a majority of their books by audio, and even if those with that view also enjoy audiobooks.
