As a dyslexic who probably reads half as fast as the normal person but enjoys books. Why on earth would I commit double the time just to consume a book through a different medium that I won’t even absorb as well? Audiobooks are a great solution for many😤
Saying “most audiobook readers are just too lazy to pick up a real book” and “disabled people are confused about the abuse of audiobooks” to a visually disabled person is crazy. Can we just agree NOT TO GATEKEEP ACCESSIBLE READING for one damn day?

They’re great for so many people for so many reasons! The hate some people choose to spout makes no sense any way you slice it.

Although I can’t focus an audiobook unless I’m playing Minecraft or staring into space, they’re an incredible resource for those who find them accessible. Anyone who believes otherwise is actively discounting the origins of written literature—oral tradition
