Being a studio musician, I'd be forced to pay more attention to a text being read out by some foont than scanned by my image-eating orbs.

For those who say it would be a chore listening to the entire book in one go: you don't have to listen to it al at once. You can stop and listen to something else, or read something else, or just take a break. I certainly couldn't listen to the entire book in one sitting, so I take advantage of the ability to stop a book and return to the same spot when I have more concentration or simply feel like continuing. It's all about choice. :-)
