I think it matters. Literacy is dropping, in the US at any rate. I've met countless people who would rather watch a youtube video than read a book or who have argued vehemently that they couldn't take information in by reading.
I know there are people who think it's just as good as reading, even substituting "read" for "listened".
If you listen to audiobooks, good for you, I guess. I think literacy is something that should be practiced continuously.
