"I enjoy reading, but I like to listen to audiobooks even more. I can put my earphones in, close my eyes, and imagine the world the author describes. I can even listen while I walk to school or work out at the gym. If I have to read a book for school, I like to listen while reading along. This helps me better understand difficult books," said Laura.


"I tried listening to an audiobook my sister suggested. I thought I would enjoy listening to it while riding my bike, but I couldn't concentrate on the book. Also, it was confusing to hear someone's voice reading it. I like reading the text directly because I can imagine how each character sounds. When I was listening to the audiobook, I couldn't "see" or "hear" the story in my mind like I can when I am reading." said Chad.
