Your brain works differently listening to audiobooks than reading. So it's not necessarily a substitute, in that you may not get the same out of the text.
Having said that, my wife is a bit ADHD and struggles to read books, but is addicted to audiobooks. 😅
My kids both prefer paper books to e-readers.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just so you're aware, your posts in this thread come across as very belligerent to me. I'm trying to ignore the tone that I perceive, and to clarify.
My understanding had been that the brain worked differently based on how it was getting text. I did a bit of DuckDuckGo and it turns out that further research shows that these differences are not that big:
