Exactly. I consider myself literate (and I'd be willing to apply any objective standards to establishing my literacy), but I also listen. In part, because it's an entertaining and edifying way to while away the time when my hands or eyes are otherwise occupied, but also because there are books where I find the narration so compulsively entertaining that I listen in preference to reading. And why not? I am large, I contain multitudes.
