When you read vs listen to a book, do you notice any specific differences in how you comprehend or absorb the material at hand?

I'm starting to learn about myself that I really need both. I'm reading Rick Rubin's book now after having listened to it and it feels like a completely different experience!

I prefer reading for the memory of a spatial experience. With kindle, it's more of 2-dimensional space instead of a 3-dimensional physical book.

Listening to a book is good for longer drives, though I'd probably listen to a podcast instead

i hadn't thought about it from a spatial sense, but i like that!
