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!

when I really want to absorb the material, I get both (since audio is my preferred way of reading) 

they say highlighting does nothing for retention, but I don't think the studies done on this were conducted with people who listen & highlight text

may still be true for retention, but not for the unconscious mind.
