Imo yea. It’s peak Hypersocialized normcore homosexualry. I don’t even read e-books. If you’re too spiritually impoverished to sit down and read 50 pages of a hard copy in one sitting you should just watch tiktok videos. Dead serious. >but I can listen to it while I do xyz!
If you indent to divide your attention between a book and something else you had no intention of actually reading the book thoughtfully and digesting it
if you don't read books handwritten by their authors you are globohomosexual personified and you are the prime zoomer
yes. why ask if you already knows the awnser?
it's reddit and therefore gay
I have never listened to an audiobook in my life. We are not children who need a beditme story before going to bed; if you are listening to a book, it must be a shit book, otherwise you would not be able to parse it aurally, or at least parse it properly. The written text is supposed to be much denser than the spoken word — that is in fact the whole point of it — because the author has all the time in the world to build it carefully and pack it with meaning. You are supposed to read, stop, go back, stop, think, take notes even, etc. when reading a book that challenges you — and you should ONLY read books that challenge you, of course. Audiobooks are for morons, like podcasts, or YouTube vlogs, etc. If you touch that stuff at all I guarantee you that you are 100% subhuman. I would rather never read a word again than touch that shit, and in the one or two occasions that I have SKIMMED it in my entire life, or experimented with it in any way, I only did it to investigate the latest mindless fads subhumans have invented to waste their pathetic lives.

If youre manipulating the book & pages, scanning the text and mind-narrating at the same time, youre dividing your attention morefolds compared to simply kicking back and listening
It's slightly less gay than being an audiobook homosexual, a group that has managed in a very short space of time to rival cyclists and vegans in the category of "most annoying consumers on the planet".
kek why all the hate? I'm not in online reading spaces but I guess it's just normies consooming 3 books a week at 2x speed?
it's absolutely fine as long as it's a high quality audiobook. The Dragash LOTR that includes the original movies soundtrack is God tier. Basically don't let the utter morons trying to gatekeep reading tell you how to experience books

I have great memories of listening to audiobooks back in 2011 while backloading on a book coalator. I must have gone through 50 doorstoppers in one summer. Nowdays it's either give your money to Jeff (FRICK THAT) or use Fileplay, which sucks.
I port over audiobook files and folders via google drive. Sadly this isn't 2011 and you cant just copy them over anymore. Frick you itunes. Does anyone know of a good app that will let you listen to a file or folder full of mp3s one after another?
Captcha: Dont let my plebian taste in listening over reading get your panties in a TWRST.
Neutron Music Player; FTP transfer over WiFi + add folder in Sources. It takes a bit to get used to its many options, but there's nothing like it in any of the operating systems if you care about quality.
Syncthing installed on your computer & Möbius Sync (iOS): play the entire folder, one file after the other. This is the easiest solution, provided that you manage to install and configure Syncthing correctly on your computer. There are tutorials on YouTube on how to install Syncthing.
listening to audiobooks is more gay than being gay itself

I listen to audiobooks while reading the book at the same time in order to focus more senses on the text.

I'm going to have you stop you to ask you something. ARE YOU LITERALLY ME?!

>Guys, is the act of pouring wiener into my anus the equivalent of listening to books
Serious answers only.

This b***h should've been naked in the Evil Dead franchise reboot.
Sir, the motto of this board is "start with the greeks" which means listening to orators while taking it in the ass.

Maybe ok if you're reading the book along with it.
