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 it forces me to actually pay attention. When I purely listen without having anything to focus my eyes on, I tend to not absorb anything at all, the information goes into one ear and out the other lol

i've found that too, that's partly why i only listen to books while walking... no possible distractions
