Whether this is true or not, I find my own comprehension/recall much much higher when longform text is read to me than when I read it. Consequently, I currently get all my books either in audiobook form, or if not possible I use my smart phone to read the ebook to me. (With the exception of highly technical books with lots of formulas.) There is still a bit of a taboo in our society I think to not read books manually, hopefully this will pass- It's much more important what you read, not how you read it.
