There have been many studies on this, people much overestimate their ability to multitask. Of course if you listen to a book being read to you while doing other stuff, retention isn't going to be as high. You also won't be able to reflect as much on what's being read to you as you would if the book had your full attention. What I'm curious about is if people actually read less or if people who read less tend to congregate on social media, which would make sense.
