Agreed.

If a person happens to be one of those who takes in information more easily when it's heard rather than read (I know someone like this in real life; this person is neither lazy nor stupid) then why shouldn't they get their books in audio format? I wouldn't want such a person to consider me lazy for reading rather than listening.

Or if a person has a really busy life and their best chance at enjoying a book is to listen to it while commuting or doing housework, what's wrong with that? Anybody that busy hardly seems lazy.

What if a person has severe dyslexia and although they have learned how to read, it's still difficult and slow? Why shouldn't they be able to take in a book in a format that works for them?
