DIE ON THIS HILL
lifestyle

Listening to an audiobook is not reading

This hill is unclaimed. Nobody is willing to die on it. Yet. First blood pending.

  • Pay, and you hold it.
  • Anyone can dethrone you for more.
  • Every claim stays on the record.

No claims on the record.

The other side

Silent print reading became the default because cheap paper scaled faster than any way of storing a voice. Stories lived in the ear first. The words arrive in the author's order either way, and the same sentence lands, the same argument builds over three hundred pages. Decoding is delivery. A person who has finished Middlemarch by ear has finished Middlemarch.
