You could look at the screen, but there’s also braille terminal support.
Some people do tts but that’s questionable, even if you don’t recognize that audiobooks aren’t reading, why burn power doing tts when you could just dl the mp3s instead and make it easier on yourself.
E: it’s really cruel to just make a funny one liner response to you. Reading and listening are two wildly different types of cognition. There is no argument against that and I don’t intend to engage with anything you present claiming otherwise. If you want to win an internet argument by having the last word about it, here’s your chance.
For your own sake please incorporate reading, actual looking at the written word and translating it into ideas, into your life especially if you’ve moved away from doing so. The process of reading has been linked in many studies with improved cognition as you age. For your own sake and the sake of the people around you, read. Do not fool yourself into believing that listening or watching is the same as reading. It will only hurt you and people who go by your example.
Please read. Listening to podcasts and audiobooks is no substitute. When you listen you’re thinking in a different way than when you’re reading and it’s important not to lose those cognitive capacities.
You do not need to keep replying to me with insults and vitriol. I’m not trying to fight you.
I’m trying to make sure that anyone who reads your comments understands that audiobooks are not in any way a substitute for reading. I want you and anyone who also listens to podcasts or audiobooks or even those long yts to understand that they are different things.
I think that’s an important thing to do because one of the biggest differences is the type of thought each one requires and reading the written word is associated with better cognitive outcomes as a person ages.
I want you to live a long healthy life so I’m still replying :)

“don’t recognize that audiobooks aren’t reading”
What a cringe take.
If you could read youd be very upset by my reply.

Your name is literally troll account 69.
What a loser.

My entire job is reading bud. What are you even on about. It sounds like you should go work on that cognitive capacity.
Listening to audiobooks engages a different way of thinking than reading the written word does. Listening to audiobooks is not reading.
That isn’t to say it’s not fun or interesting or a way to occupy your mind but it’s not the same as reading.
Why are you still talking.
