One of my part time jobs is a thinkless labour job and we're allowed to have headphones in, which means it allows me to listen to audiobooks while doing said labour job. Only time I ever use audiobooks.

I work in the back of a liquor store unloading beer, wine, and spirits from delivery trucks. I get a discount on liquor purchases and I get to listen to audiobooks all day.

OK BOOMER, I thought that people who read books are the most open-minded but they're actually the most bigoted people.
Of course they waste their time reading pages of pages of book so when something new, effective, and efficient way is there to replaced it they become bitter.

>mfw hiking mountains alone and listening to audio books

yeah, actually reading lets you actually ruminate over the words, take it at your own pace, reread, etc. But if you're hiking hard enough, you achieve this perfect mental state of calmness and focus, where you're exercising just hard enough to not be distracted, but not too hard so you can't focus. In this state, it's just as good as sitting down and slowly reading.

BOOKS GOOD
AUDIOBOOKS BAD
People like the idea of reading books to look smarter than actually learn something from it.

i sincerely do wonder what are the pros and cons of audiobook vs reading physical book.

the one that immediately comes to my mind is that you can read faster than you can listen. but that point is weakened by the fact that unless youre partitioning out your time to maximize some kind of "absorb knowledge" productivity game, it just means if you choose to go audiobook, be prepared and willing to allocate more time
anecdotally, ive felt that reading a book has made a much stronger impact on me than listening to a podcast or lecture (which arent quite the same as audiobook). but that may be selection bias.

It's easy to listen than to read. If you're not paying full attention while reading, you're reading. So I would assume that audio books are less mentally taxing thus they are less stimulating mentally.

Ask yourself what it is about audiobooks that you like so much in the first place

I've always sucked at listening compared to reading. I dunno if it is the same for everyone. When we had ela (english languge arts) standardized tests in school, I always had to put in more effort on the listening part than the reading part. The listening parts was far easier however, so it didn't make much of a difference, and I actually ended up aceing it more often than the reading parts.

I was about to say its weird, since I watched a lot of tv as a kid I should be good at listening, but even as a kid I always put the closed captioning on the tv or enabled subtitles whenever I could. I usually did this to make sure I didn't miss anything.
