1. SOUNDBITE (English) Julia Whelan, audiobook narrator:
"First of all, I think the kids would say that it’s ableist to say that if you didn’t read a book with your eyeballs, then you didn’t read it, considering many people have many limitations that would prevent them from reading a book, physically reading a book. So then are you telling them they’ve never read a book before? But we also now have actual data and studies to back up the fact that listening to a book actually triggers the same response in the brain as reading it, and that the interpretation and understanding of that book is actually on par with having read it. So you are not fundamentally having a different experience of that book. The medium is very different. And it is a true adaptation of that book but it’s not a completely invalid form of reading it."
