Is it better to read a book or listen to it?

Likely to be the only two books in the Kingkiller series :frowning:

I suppose that’s true for me, too, except I can’t stand to listen to audio books at 1x speed. Most narrators read fiction way too slowly for me. Granted, sometimes I just want to steep in the experience, but some narrators seem to read really slowly so they can cold read better. And they get paid by the hour (but I guess the narration speed is really determined by the producer/voice director, assuming the project has one).

I find that a bad or middling narrator is worse than text to speech, like reading a book highlighted by someone else. So I actually now prefer good text to speech over most narrations.
