When I hear someone declare that "audiobooks aren't real reading," I tell myself that they probably had a terrible time learning to decipher marks on paper,take a rightful pride in that skill, and don't want their struggle minimized. Or maybe they have trouble understanding spoken words and it's a sore spot for them.

I find audiobooks sometimes hard to follow, when the speed of the reader differs too much from the speed of my brain. Reading a book puts the speed control back into my hands. It's a practical thing, I think. Our brains are wired very differently, especially when it comes to processing linear series of events.
