Not quite the case. Reading a book requires a focus on word and sentence structure, a level of attention, that listening to an audio recording doesn't really match. At the least reading requires basic literacy. Thus, listening and reading aren't the same. Writing by any means or dictating text on the other hand both make you have to focus on exactly how you say things in the clearest possible way. This makes them much more similar.
