Last but not least, reading visually to a book and listening to an audiobook, do they are the same things?
Recently, audiobook has became a new wave among the readers to have as their reading material. But, still have a lot of people don’t like audiobooks. we can understand that; they think it takes away from the reading experience, from the conversation between author and reader.We did agree that audiobooks are not the same experience as reading . What you get out of them is different, yes, but they both have value.
To us reading isn’t about interpreting words visually as much as understanding language. If someone’s telling a story then it doesn’t matter if I’m reading the words off the page or hearing them inside our head, that’s still reading.
It provides a different experience, an auditory experience, but we were still getting the same story. For certain books it can actually be an advantage, particularly if it’s a book that’s difficult to read.
The main disadvantage with audiobooks is that the feeling can be quite different. we don’t know if you’ve listened to a book you’ve read previously but it feels different. The reason is because the narrator is interpreting the story rather than you; he or she places the emphasis on certain words differently than you might, so it’s never exactly the same.
And sometimes dialogue which sounds right on the page doesn’t seem believable when read aloud. That’s why personally we'll always prefer the printed page; we just like the feel and smell of paper, hearing the words in our own voice. But that doesn’t mean that we're think audiobooks aren’t the same, just that we get something different from them.

Listening also the most important skills in acquiring good English language though. If you get interested to try out the audiobook, Audible is quite good in producing Audiobooks, you can have it for iTune and MP3 format.
