    Reading:

    n 1: the cognitive process of understanding a written linguistic
           message; "his main reading was detective stories";
           "suggestions for further reading"

    I don’t think one is better than the other. Just listening is different than reading. It uses different parts of the brain.

      I think there is a similar effect with speed-reading v slow-reading. Slow reading gives me time to mull over and digest what I’m reading, while speed can be good to skim for information.

      Is reading aloud by someone else still not reading?

      I would argue that you are still understanding a written message but the delivery medium is different.

      (Wired vs wireless analogy but data is the same)

      I can at least agree that audio dramas are different than reading.
