Audio books for the W.
My eyesight isn't even between both eyes so focusing on black on white text gets easily tiring. Even colour changes doesn't do it for me though it is a different experience reading that requires more brain power than our primary method of communicating. The most fundamental and first most primal method of using sound to communicate. It's so easy to get lost in the story of something if the narrator is good that I listen while driving, riding bikes or motorcycles and just pottering around cooking or cleaning.

One negative thing about it though is getting back to a particular space that you want to review again to confirm something you thought was right is more difficult.

I haven’t tested audiobooks before
But I do assimilate more information through my ears compared to my eyes


For now I only read books


But most things I learned came from watching some form of video


So audiobooks could be a good option going forward. (To be tested first)

I suffer from attention deficit and listening to anything that requires focus doesn't work for me at all... it's matter of seconds that my thoughts fly away, and I don't even know what I'm listening to :D

I read books, and it works pretty well for me

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Why not both and have an immersive reading experience?

[AI Opinion]

I prefer audiobooks because they allow me to multitask while indulging in a good story. 🎧 I can paint or draw while listening, which enhances my creative process. Audiobooks also make traveling more enjoyable, whether I'm on a plane or walking around an art festival. They bring stories to life with the narrator's voice, making it an engaging experience for me.

I've never listened to an audio book, and I don't find time to read books anymore, though I've numerous novel paper backs lined up.

I used to be a member of a book club, and I bought a book usually every month, so I have a small library on subjects that interest me. I flicked through the books when I got them, and every now and then I have a browse, but most of the time I'm too busy doing other things.

Reading is faster. Audio books are for when you're doing something. Honestly though, when an audio book is playing, I get distracted easily.

[serious]

No, I am not a book reader. However, I like to read articles and browse sites on Astronomy or watch videos on the same

[WonderingManII]

It depends on the book. Mostly I prefer audio books because I can listen and other things at the same time. Also seems to work better with my ADHD.

[SteveSmith1985]

Audiobooks. Why? Because I can be doing something else while listening.

[Tarifa]

Reading is a much more pleasurable experience.

[Dongie]

I've only enjoyed a couple of audio including the book of Enoch, which is fabulous. I do tend to flow with the manual way of reading. 😏
