I don't think audio and text should oppose each other. I think it would be cool to switch between these modes. I want to read a book at breakfast, then continue listening to it on the go, and then read it again at lunch. That's what I want to do in my product, by the way ;-)
I love audiobooks. For half of my life, I thought that if I didn’t read traditional books, it meant I was less intelligent than others. Then I started listening to audiobooks, and they began to stay in my memory much better. Now I can listen to books, and I love it very much.
The choice depends on the goal :) if it is about some cozy home time, to rest and dive into a good story then it is about paper. Most business books and professional literature I prefer to devour digitally :) as for audio - mostly it is when I want to listen to some books in psychology, leadership, motivation :)
Ah, the classic battle of Book Lovers: Audiobook Aficionados and Traditional Readers! One group listening to stories, the other savoring the smell of fresh pages—both united by their love for a good tale. So, tell me, do you prefer getting lost in narration or flipping through the pages like a literary acrobat?
