Audiobooks

Does Yea Forums listen to audiobooks? They helped me getting back into reading when I haven't read for a while and lacked the concentration to effectively read. I kept listening to them, it's great for when I have things to do outside.

Is having listened to a book effectively the same as having read it? I mean I'd assume it is, but what's your retarded memefuelled opinion?

Depends on the book, but generally speaking, absolutely not

begone, thotshill

I'm not, that's the point. I just think that's a very funny picture.

Why not?

it's just someone reading the actual book, stop sperging. the information you get from it is literally 100% the same as from the actual book.

>it is literally 100% the same as from the actual book
No it is not. Audio"books" are nowhere near as engaging as actual books.

AhahahhahahahahahAHAHHAHAAHHAAHHAAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAhahahhahahahahahAHAHHAHAAHHAAHHAAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAhahahhahahahahahAHAHHAHAAHHAAHHAAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAhahahhahahahahahAHAHHAHAAHHAAHHAAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I want to for driving but I’m scared, I generally hate listening to people and struggle to pay attention to talking. Never ever watch youtube guides unless there’s absolutely no written guide and even then I turn the speed up to to 2x. Who are some narrators that are autistically accessible, Yea Forums?

holy shit, could you be any more pretentious?

yea audioboooks are great and just as good as "normal"books. Pseuds will disagree obviously to show some sort of superiority

Explain how it's not literally the same information. Where does information get lost between reading it quietly or out loud?

AFAIK, traditional reading (tablets and ebooks not included) helps retain the material much better than audiobooks.

Any source? I really don't think so. At least that's not my experience.

>traditional reading (tablets and ebooks not included)
how does that make any sense

>For a 2016 study, Rogowsky put her assumptions to the test. One group in her study listened to sections of Unbroken, a nonfiction book about World War II by Laura Hillenbrand, while a second group read the same parts on an e-reader. She included a third group that both read and listened at the same time. Afterward, everyone took a quiz designed to measure how well they had absorbed the material. “We found no significant differences in comprehension between reading, listening, or reading and listening simultaneously,” Rogowsky says

that makes sense, I don't think those students were sitting in a chair and just listening to those lessons without doing anything else. The rest surprises me, that's not my experience.

However, I don't think it's the perfect alternative to actual reading, personally I just have problems with reading since years now. And like I said, listening to audiobooks helped me getting back into actual reading. I still don't read as much as a before, but at least a few dozen sites a day again.
And all that aside, it's a good way to check out new books without paying, I can just pirate audiobooks.

Fuck that's how Belle Delphine looks like without make-up!?

no, that's just how she looks. she's still wearing a shitton of makeup.

I find I absorb audiobooks very well if I listen to them while working out or walking. When I'm playing video games I find that I miss out on a bit.

She literally looks like a goblin

maybe she changed to goblin cosplay

I've tried to listen to audiobooks, but I can't. If I'm doing something else, I don't really listen to it, even when it comes to doing mundane things. Essentially, the "finding time to do it" therefore gets nullified.

Besides, I read faster than someone can relay information through voice anyway. For those of you who say you don't have time, finding half-an-hour to an hour a day can't be that hard... Especially if you maintain a schedule. You don't need to read a lot in a day to get through a good chunk of books.

more like American cosplay lol

Auditory and visual processing are completely different and work different parts of the brain. You are far more likely to retain information that you have read as opposed to heard. That being said, I listen to audiobooks often. I prefer to actually read but I can't as much as I want to. It also all depends on the type of book. If it is information that I really want to retain, I read it.
