Is listening to books better than reading them?

No.

I'm.sll for reading.

Then I can decide what the characters look like, sound like.

It's more fun.

And involving 🥰💚

@jesusredeemedme2425 i enjoy both. Used to be a major audiobook noper, but now that i´m older, i really like to listen to them to keep me grounded while doing a physical repetitive task i couldn´t sit over for hours without a secondary grounding (painting, embroidery etc, but can´t listen to stuff when i have to actuall ydo deeper thinking like brainstorming, reading, thinking, learning, actually deep focusing on things)

It is for someone who struggles to sit down and read!

@jesusredeemedme2425 It totally depends on the person's preference. For me, I choose reading. It's easiest for me to get lost in the book-- especially when it's good. It's also easier for me to comprehend when it's me silent reading and the characters come to life in my brain. When I listen to audiobooks, it just doesn't do it for me and it's harder for me to catch on to what I just heard. And don't let me be distracted by something else, then everything I just heard goes in one ear and out the other. 😂

Depends if you want to do chores while reading or not
