I listen to audio books on 1.75x speed while I follow the pdf. I don't like narrator's pauses in between chapters or lines of dialogue. This way, there's no stopping or losing concentration. Suddenly a 5 hour long book can be finished in 2-3 hours.

No offense to you guys in particular but I really fucking hate people like you.
I have worked with some dudes just like it and they are so annoying the entire factory hated them.
Couldn't go out drinking with them because they couldn't sit still for more than 30 seconds, always had to flip through channels on the tv in the break room even when hockey was on and couldn't talk about a single subject for more than ten sentences before they got sidetracked.

It's probably because I'm the opposite of ADHD.
I take everything slow, never do anything without thinking about it first, speak slowly and I can sit in my comfy chair and read a 500 page book from start to finish in a day.

information that you absorb by listening to some dude while you do your laundry doesn't stick as much as information you actually sit down and read.
not to mention audio books being expensive and longer to finish than regular books

Why are you gatekeeping so hard ?
The whole point of books is to store information, audiofiles are an equivalent of books that can do the same thing well enough.

Because you listen to an audio book. You don't read it.
It's not gatekeeping, it's in the verb. I'm not saying I'm went running when I bike despite using the same path.
Sure you get to enjoy it, sure you have the same info but it's something totally different. And like I said, it's a great hobby. So it's cool that you like it.

For me is the opposite. I need to be aware of my surroundings so putting earphones makes me uncomfortable if I have it for too long. That's why i can only enjoy children audiobooks, those are relaxing for some reason, especially if it rhymes. But I only use it to get better at listening foreign languages.
