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!

Very interesting question. I recently read a paperback – it's been a while. Having to keep the book open with my hands felt surprisingly annoying.

Like others have mentioned, I find it hard to comprehend enough detail through audio books. I guess it depends on what else is happening apart from listening.
