I respect audio books, and I enjoy them. It's great that others listen to them too, but it isn't the same as reading. It's a different experience.
Listening to a recording of someone reading a book isn't the same as reading a book yourself, just like listening to a recording of someone using the bathroom isn't the same as using the bathroom yourself.
The information is the same... I imagine the same image in my head in an audio book as I do in the real book. Your comparison is trash. But on the bathroom note I guess, a book is like toilet paper, takes time have to double check each wipe, fold it over. It gets done eventually. An audio book is like a bidet. Fast, clean, effective. Both get your ass clean.
