On my phone, but the short of it is that reading demands a lot more out of your brain (this is true even between reading on paper vs. screen). There's more going on neurologically. The act of reading itself, regardless of what you're reading, also fosters mental habits like critical thinking and reflection. Requires active interaction with information as opposed to passive reception of it. But like I said, audio books are much better than nothing at all, and are really convenient for a lot of people. Nothing wrong with them at all.
