Right, there is a small difference. One you read and you transform so to speak, the other is "spelled" upon you :D
Audiobooks are great, but if you don't pay attention you will miss everything and since they are so condensed it will be tough getting complicated matters the first time.
Cheers guys, more eastern, more slavic :) Keep up the good work :) @alcibiades
Now following you, by the way, what do you think about reading 500 posts? :D I'm trying to get a challenge going but failing miserably :)
Yeah, the one problem with audiobooks is lack of ability to stop on some tricky subject, reread, highlight and take notes. But if you are okay going from cover to cover and simply absorbing all the information, it works just fine. :)
Thanks, @j3dy! As a curator I read a lot of posts each day, so it's doable. You just need to challenge yourself.
Rereading is what we have physical books for :)
If there comes an important scene, make sure you read it too. This usually includes the beginning, the end, and anything in the middle that might have been unclear from the listening.
