Garrett Robinson @alchemic.bsky.social · 22/01/2026For example, comprehension of narrative or fiction writing is roughly equivalent for reading and listening, but reading is better for material that benefits significantly from self-pacing, re-reading, and illustration, such as textbooks on technical topics, which jibes with my personal experience. 240
