@One Guy Named Ivan Your very own comment shows that your dyslexia is just a fancy excuse and actually you're just a little dim. Dyslexia does not affect grammar, but _spelling._ It should not be an excuse for using wrong constructions, wrong words, for mixing up much/many and few/little, for forgetting the irregular past tense of a word, or for failing to distinguish between your and you're or there they're, and their. This is grammar.

@One Guy Named Ivan I didn't notice any grammar mistake in your comment and I wouldn't care if I saw one. (Even if you were native English speaking.) The content just doesn't make sense. You could say: "I'm dyslexic so I have difficulty reading, therefore I prefer audiobooks." Instead you're clearly in a habit of using dyslexia as an excuse (e.g. for bad grammar, the link with which is questionable). And "bigtory" (spelling intentional against censurhips) is a sign of the stupid and the very intelligent. Pointing out that everything is supposedly due to bigtory, is in turn a sign of utter mediocrity.

I love reading. I love the stories and the way they're told. There's always an adventure in a book! When my children were little, we would get audio books for road trips. When I was working 60 hours a week I no longer had time to read, so I started listening to audio books on my commute. Later, for 7 years I had a job where I could listen to audio books. I found that if I did not listen to something, my mind would wander from my work and my quality suffered. I started listening to classics, educational, informative, histories, fiction of all sorts... almost anything, as long as I liked the writing style and the narrator was tolerable. I learned SO MUCH!! Now, my husband and I listen to audio books at night instead of falling asleep with the tv on. It' s fun to share the literary experience. I notice that if I miss something in a book or podcast, and repeat it, I usually have to listen 3-4 times to pick up the specific or the key. However, for expanding knowledge, for the experience of the adventure inside a book, audio works fine for my purpose. Also, as I get older, my ADD is worse, and reading articles becomes tedious. I'd much prefer a quick 20 seconds of someone telling me vs the minute it takes me to read. Eye strain is another factor.

I do both; during the day I listen to the book I’m reading and if I get a chance to relax I like to read it myself.

Paul, thank you very much for your video. I am in IT and I listen to A LOT of podcasts on my 5.5 Mile uphill walks. The road is very quiet, almost zero vehicular traffic, in a very oxygen rich environment...my focus is incredible. I sometimes pause and use my audio note taker app when there is something I particularly want to record. So podcasts and audiobooks works great for me. I would never be able to catch up with all the content I have to in my profession if I just did reading alone...no way!!

I read a summary of a book, then listen to the Audio version of it while exercise or drive. As I listen to a book, I take point form summary of important messages on my phone and review it after I finish it. This helps maximize my comprehension, even better than reading a physical book.

I'm dyslexic and struggle to read long text anyway. Even fairly simple short book nearly always make far more sense if they are read to me by a good narrator. The voices of charictors are far more realistic and easy to relate to if narrated rather than reading them from a page. Exactly like you say - a tone such as sarcasm is far more obvious if narrated by a good narrator who knows the story. My concentration is very poor so will nearly always have to listen to a novel at least twice - depending on the length and complexity of the story. Non fiction instruction manuals or reference books for example need to be read from a book idealy for me. It's very true that multitasking while listening to a book does cause distraction that's for sure!

This was very extensive. Thank you. ❤

I do both. A lot depends on the reader. A while ago I listened to Stephen Fry reading Myths. It is great! One book I had to quit because the lady reader sounded so negative. My memory is better when I use vision. As if details go in better while reading but a general form of the idea is easier to get by listening.

I still enjoy reading a good novel but at night I would like to listen to audiobooks and fall asleep I think either way you get the perspective of the author

Wonderful analysis, helped me to decide what is better for me because I was thinking i may go audio books for my work purpose but i am clear about my choice... thank you very much

I like audiobooks as I read the book. Does anyone else do that !

Thank you for the video! Some very good points. I would suggest that the best answer for you is not your purpose but what works for you. This becomes extremely individual. I think some of us with adhd actually do better with audio due to the fact that we can do other things which settles down our mind and can absorb the material vs reading where our mind distracts us from the reading and comprehension task on hand. This may also be another helpful hint to aid in the diagnosis of adhd. Just a thought 💭. Don’t know this to be true. Would love to know what you think.

It also depends on whos doing the reading in an Audio book. I could listen to anything read by say Richard Burton. What a voice and a great speaker of the written word.

Reading Vs listening is different activities of the brain. Listening also won’t make me faster reader because audio is one word at a time. Listening is the lazy approach of a receiving mode. Flow of data is coming to me without any efforts of the brain. On reading the flow is going out from me. I need to activate the brain to read. Basically, I don’t need to listen to a story in order to say to myself, I finished one more book. I’m getting stories access to me from people, and Internet all day long. It is the activity in engaging with the reading that makes all the difference. Thank you for sharing Paul. Excellent video as usual. 👍🌟💎

As a blind person, I resent that “lazy” comment. I use Braille as well and that’s a whole addition to reading that uses touch and you get a very full experience once you are a good Braille reader. I could call YOU lazy for not reading in Braille. I used to be a sight reader until I went blind and now I use audio and touch. I don’t think that’s lazy at all. All of the methods are different in feel and parts of the brain used but all are good for you. I think this question is like “which is better? Broccoli or kale or spinach?” All are good.

When listening to audio books I have noticed that when I repeated the tasks I did while listening to the book I would have relapses of the audio in my head. I have tested this with many things. I can even remember the audio through images, for example if a character in a book says something while I see an image of the character when I see the character far later I can recall the audio I forgot. This may have something to do with visual learning as I am a visual learner.

@RS-tn4fs

Same here. Whenever I re-listen an audiobook, I have relapses of my visual surroundings (weather, buildings, part of the city, time of the day) wnen I was listening to it for the first time. I usually listen to audiobooks when I am walking to/from work. It's funny, but I can associate the exact location where I was when I listen to any given sentence with the precision of 10-20 meters.

Books, the feel, the smell of the library and the total emersion in a good story, until poor vision becomes a problem, at that point it's so good to lean back with a cup of coffee and let someone read to me while I watch the story unfold behind my eyes. Book or Audio is of no difference. It's the story, always the story.

It depends on what kind of learning system you have. I find it effective for me to record my professor and rewind and listen while taking notes. Maybe some are visual leaners and some are audio

Books are the best by far....audiobooks good when I'm working in shop or doing quiet busy work. Never an e reader.

I prefer reading, you reduce more stress and diseases along the way and it builds concentration compared to audiobooks(which are cool to listen to as well)

Being able to drive and listen to a book is great. Then I get home and sit In a comfy chair and carry it on with my eyes closed. Rather than looking at a page, I'm just imagining what's going on. Much easier to get lost in the story in my opinion.

Nice video. I use books ebooks and audiobooks. I've found a time and place for all of them and consider them as a group similar to a toolbox. If my focus is on study I prefer using books. I dont stop there but tend to review materials in either an ebook or audio format. This makes reviewing possible during times when I wouldn't be able to hold a book and so adds to my studies. (I've also recorded notes that I've kept and review those from my phone). When it comes to leisure reading these days I use ebooks and audiobooks and take advantage of apps like Libby. If I feel like I'm doing a combo of leisure and study I tend towards an ebook. This is because I'm on the go and an ebook is usually a better choice.

I like audio book because i have a attention span of a fly if i read book but i do love manga and comic book

Audiobooks is like listening to someone telling story

If it is fictitious I prefer an audio book . A good actor reading you a story, cant beat it. With non fiction I prefer reading the actual book myself.

I like audio books with ebook

Reading is more immersive for me and I am able to concentrate more.

I do both. I prefer reading but I kinda get annoyed because i have stuff to do. I listen when walking, most days. And from this I know (for me) Its best to just sit and lsiten and do that. This is because I believe the note taking of the important facts is important for me. I also take notes when reading. By the way, everything I read is instructional/informative. I cant be doing with reading books for pleasure, mainly because I dont really find it pleasurable. I just have to read the instructional stuff so have to push myself to do it. This is basically like the meditation thing. "I dont have time to sit and do nothing, I have too much to do and achieve." Moving forward, dispite the added expense, I plan to listen to the audio book, followed by reading the actual book. But its not possible for all books. So reading will be the only choice. I have several books now I have to read. BUt as I progress through them slowly. I listen to a long audio book of the basic subject matter. I big picture look at the content rather than the specific areas of each book.

Nice video

I like to play a video game online that relates the audiobook topic, for example, I was playing, space invaders while listening to an astronaut' s guide to life on earth

audiobooks are convenient and easy...but you tend to find yourself properly drifting in and out of focus and sometimes even so much so that you fall asleep...with reading you may slip out of focus, but you really know and you go back....not only that but reading is generally slower, and you take more in and have added benefits of grammar, visual word to brain working....there is really no comparison...audiobooks are a bit like a video...great for overview...but less so for real deep learning.
