Do you prefer reading or listening?

@louistiti_fr Personally I would prefer listening. As I find it less distracting let's say when you commute, it's sometimes hard to read as compared to putting on earphones and simply listen without any distractions. Hope this helps!

@louistiti_fr Listening, cause I can multitask.

@louistiti_fr when I want to slow down and focus on one thing, I prefer reading. I noticed, that if I'm listening I got distracted much easier. It could also happen when I'm reading but I can continue where I left. When I'm listening, I just completely forget what I was listening to :D But! I really like to listen to something while I'm running (podcasts most cases), I'm also able to focus on what I'm listening in that case.

@louistiti_fr I actually prefer the opposite - I used to commute >2 hours a day to Denver so listening was ideal, but now I have BABIES! And since we no longer have a car or a commute, my best work time is when babies are asleep. So for me everything has shifted to what I can read and work on in silence. I know I am in the minority here though. ;)

@louistiti_fr Definitely reading for fiction. I think digesting words on a page does something irreplicable in any other medium for my imagination. I like listening for non-fiction. I think in that context, it's more efficient.

@louistiti_fr - If I want to retain information, I have to read it. And I enjoy reading -- especially because you can scan paragraphs and skip information that you don't think will be particularly helpful (and in doing so, save yourself time). However, there are times I do appreciate the ability to listen to content: exercising & commuting. And I love the service you're working on -- not sure exactly how it works -- might be nice if (for long content) you could see the page outline (not just the title) and subheads were marked in the audio (again, so you can skip over non-essential content) - ??? Best of luck! Sounds like a super idea!!! :)

@louistiti_fr It depends on what it is. I prefer to read if it's something more complicated/harder to understand. If not, I would rather listen and multitask

@louistiti_fr I prefer reading. I can cover material at my own speed and reread phrases, sentences, passages that are important to me. I'm easily distracted so focusing on printed matter works better for me. I guess while traveling, I might prefer listening to some forms of content, but again, I have a tendency to get distracted, start daydreaming or thinking about a point just made so I miss the next "N" of audible content.

@louistiti_fr I prefer to listen because I am a slow reader. I'm trying to work on my reading skills, I know I easily drift while reading because I day dream and get distracted. I also believe that when I listen, I can get information faster as I can listen faster than I can read.

@louistiti_fr I prefer listening. When a listen to an article, podcast, audiobook i can also be driving, working, walking, it relaxes me.
