Was the effect of listening to novels on the phone the same as reading novels on a book?

It's like this. I used my smartphone to download Jin Yong's 14 TXT e-books and then installed a software that can read TXT aloud. Every day, I listen to the reading software read the novels to me in order to increase my reading volume. However, a friend told me that real reading is to read the original book. Being able to read ten lines at a glance is the highest realm. Only in this way can you increase your reading speed and thus increase your reading volume. On the other hand, listening to a book on a mobile phone was reading it word by word, which did not meet the requirements of fast reading. I would like to ask my friends who read a lot, which of these two kinds of reading is better?

Answer 1

Listening to a novel on a mobile phone and reading a novel with a book are two different ways of reading, and their reading effects may be different.

When listening to a novel on a mobile phone, we can only hear the sound of the novel and not the text. This way, we can enjoy the story and character development of the novel better, but it may make us lose the ability to understand the content of the novel. If we're listening to a long novel, we might have to wait a while before we can see the complete plot, and this time might make us lose interest in the story.

When reading a novel, we can directly see the content of the novel and understand the plot and character development through reading. This method can help us better grasp the knowledge and plot in the novel and improve our reading efficiency and comprehension ability. If we were reading a long novel, we might be able to read it faster and grasp the turning point of the story better.

Therefore, the reading effect of listening to novels on mobile phones and reading novels with books may be different, depending on our personal habits and reading needs.
