If I listen to audio books and pause to think about something I get lost. I'm going blind and can't read real books anymore but I can still read ebooks.
@caPnAhab It's a good book! Unfortunately, the author ended up passing away before she could finish it so the ending is a bit of whiplash as far as the writing style goes. Definitely a terrifying case though.
I've been mostly audiobooks. I've been into them for a while. But lately cause I read a lot for my job / use my eyes a lot and I just want to not read anymore in my off-time.
@caPnAhab I always hated it when other people read in school--they often had no idea of what punctuation meant, and some read the white space of the margins...
Take a book, read a physical line of print, stop at the physical end for a few seconds, read another physical line, stop again, etc.
You are now "reading" the whitespace. Anyone listening can reconstruct how the page was typeset. So you are conveying not only the intended information, but formatting information only part of the specific presentation.
