As I said...UNLESS you are a kid learning to read, learning how to learn...THEN it doesn’t matter.
I think it’s a reasonable presumption that any participant here that says they “read” a book they actually listened too....is already in the “it doesn’t matter” category. You don’t forget how to read. If you are participating on onl8ne forums...you are reading.
And as for snob appeal...and bettering yourself...modality matters very little compared to the content. If you are watching YouTube cat videos..you are in the same league as someone reading vampire love stories. Reading crap is not superior to watching crap.
If you are watching Ted Talk videos, you are far more likely to be improving yourself over someone reading vampire romances.
That we have so many modalities for learning and improving ourselves...that’s a good thing. To each their own.
Mind you, I have nothing against vampire romance novels...my space operas and thrillers are the same thing...stuff I read to enjoy. And whether I’m reading, listening or watching my enjoyment...it doesn’t matter
