I am the exact same way.

I agree with this also. It's legitimate as is reading an ebook or using speed reading software or perhaps reading books in braille. It's just personally not for me, for the above reasons.
I feel if you don't have any handicaps however, it's a bit lazy. Like being read to as a child. I personally don't retain that much information aurally so I have trouble relating to those who apparently can.

That's a very good point and one I had not considered. I will have to give it some thought.

Really, you didn't learn how to read until you graduated primary school? I learned how to read before I entered it. If you are referring to "decoding" as reading, I agree, it's not high effort at all. That's why I referred to listening to words as low effort. See the logic?
I'm sorry you were apparently offended by my honestly but that is your right an your choice. It wasn't directed at you personally.
