Am I the only one who uses audiobooks? Is it plebeian? It's basically the same content, but just listening instead of reading. Listening is good too, right?
I listen to audio books and podcasts while doing tasks that don't require much thought
if you're blind, or if your brain has that dyslexic disconnect with words, audiobooks are a godsend.
i can't stand them because my regular reading pace is entire paragraphs at a glance, and audiobooks are too slow.
So you're saying that your attention span is so poor that you can't even commit to reading words off of a page? End yourself.

I'm probably dyslexic, some times I read very very slow, like I can spend a good 5-10 minutes on a single page.
I use it while commuting as supplemental. It however is a massive disadvantage and I only do it with texts I don't care too much about. You miss a lot from not seeing the pages and it also takes twice as long to listen as it takes to read.

you - shithead. go find a russian website and stare at all the Cyrillic. try to decode it.
that's what it's like reading english with dyslexia. fucking sociopaths, should stick to /pol/ and /mu/

They're an ok substitute for a second read of anything substantive. If you're listening to them in lieu of a first read, the book better be fluff or you better be blind and incapable of reading Braille.

If your book is pretty words or poems, sure.
Philosophy and challenging lit require extensive re-reading and pauses to actually process what you're reading.

Chores. Dishes. Laundry. That stuff.
My language learning jumped a few levels when I realized I could rip conversations off of YouTube and listen to them while doing mindless nonsense like that.

Bullshit.
