Not so. I have books read to me, sometimes by the author. I read a book only
when it is not available in an unabridged audiobook format. Most are ripped
from CD audiobooks in our county library but I sometimes buy from Audible.
I don't think that would work well for me. My reading speed varies
depending on the content of the book. For most fiction, I zoom through
it faster than someone could read aloud. For programming books, I zip
through the bits that review topics with which I'm familiar, and slow
down when a new (to me) concept is explained. Books explaining some
of the math behind 3D graphics (for example), I plod through to soak in
as much knowledge as possible.
