    thank you so much for bringing up the blind and visually impaired when it comes to audiobooks! i am legally blind and i was watching this video with my totally blind friend. we both freaked out when we heard someone in such a mainstream setting explain the fact that that’s the only way we can read. braille is bulky, expensive, and incredibly hard to read for longer books. audio is so much simpler, along with ebooks.

      I wish I could do audiobooks, but I just can't because it all just flies out of my head, but I know how amazing some of them are.

    • @AspienPadda
      @AspienPadda 6 років тому +20

      I am honestly curious: how does commenting work when blind and what does "legally blind" mean?
      I have a wheelchair bound friend who would also probably enjoy the heck out of audiobooks seeing as he can't use his hands for a whole lot like paging but he can sort of manage a tablet. I'm glad Jessé brought this up as I'd never thought of bringing my friend an audio book.

    • @addiewithapen
      @addiewithapen 6 років тому +24

      Coreen Benadie commenting when you can’t see is actually fairly easy. there are plenty of screen-readers like voice over that read everything on your screen. there is also voice to text. for me, and most people who are under the umbrella term legally blind, i have vision. what you see about two hundred feet away, i only start to see twenty feet away, so i use large text and screen magnifiers to see my phone and such.
      and yes that sounds like an amazing idea :) they really must have a good friend in you!

    • @AspienPadda
      @AspienPadda 6 років тому +4

      Thanks for the quick reply@@addiewithapen I love talking to people on the Internet! This is also turning out to be quite the insightful conversation.
      Oh of course! That makes a lot of sense actually! In my own experience voice to speech has been very cumbersome but that's probably because I can see and type myself. I oftentimes don't realise how blessed I am, thanks for reminding me! Oh spelling and grammar errors must be a nightmare when trying to decipher what the other person meant when it's being read out loud and puns are probably near impossible!
      Ohh I actually knew someone who was legally blind then but due to the language difference I didn't recognise the term at first. The guy I knew could see sort of the opposite of tunnel vision and had all his screens magnified to the max!
      This also helps me understand why my friend uses "okay Google" so much and will cause me to be more patient and mindful with him. I like to Google for people but he probably want to do things himself also. Too often I forget he's disabled and I try to hand him something or ask hom to hand me a thing and we laugh awkwardly. I do hope to be a good friend to all my friends haha.

      @@morromenos1016 Context should change the meaning. That's why Jesse says that it's basically the same thing. Especially for blind people, "listening" is their only way of reading; "listening" an ebook is basically reading a book with their eyes closed but with their ears "open". When you're "listening" an audiobook, you're "reading" the words, the phrases, the sentences in your mind via your ears and you process them in the same way as reading a physical book. At least that's how it's working out for me so I guess it could be similar for people without eyesight. That's my opinion on the matter, I'm not an expert, just a fellow reader 😊

      @@fatimaa9139 Sure! There are some things that are mentioned that you would understand more thoroughly if you read TMI first, but it's still perfectly understandable on it's own. You will miss a few references that are written into the books but it doesn't affect the comprehension of them. The main issue I see is that if you later decide to read TMI you would know A LOT of big spoilers from reading TDA. But if you don't care about spoilers or are sure you won't read TMI then I don't see any issue with just reading TDA.

      Hermione sometimes gets too much credit, though. For example, in the Devil Snare scene, it was Harry who was like “light a fire already.” She kinda freaked out, forgot she was a witch, and went “how am I supposed to light a fire without wood!?” So Ron was all “use your wand, Hermione.” Sometimes she’s even credited with stuff she didn’t do. Like it’s actually Harry who figures out that in order to save Sirius, they have to save Buckbeak, and Harry who helps them escape Gringotts by releasing the dragon.

Then other people just don't have time and listen when in the car, or while washing the dishes. Also, there are the people like me who enjoy a good audiobook sometimes.

    Movie oppinion; I usually want to read the book before I see the movie, but sometimes seeing the movie before gives me that extra push to go and read the book. Like I have had movies that I watched before reading the book, and after I was like; dang I need to read that book. Also when the movie is trash I’ll still read the book if I haven’t already because it almost never happens that the book is as trash as the movie. Except if the concept just doesn’t speak to me because they based that off of the book at least..
    ALSO, Jesse I get why you didn’t like the Ready Player One movie adaptation. I like it well enough but only because I stopped comparing it to the book. It’s an okay movie by itself but compared to the book it’s so bad. Like nothing is the same. So I geddit.

I fell in love with it. I went and bought the book in paperback and read along and then got the rest of the books in their series. Garth Nix is now one of my favourite authors and I have even met him in person. But without the audio book I never would have gotten my love of reading.

      That's how I understood it too. Usually when other readers say that audiobooks don't count as reading, they're talking about the literal action because there's clearly nothing to read. They are looking at it very very literally, while other Jesse and Emma from Emmabooks are talking about "reading" as the way your brain makes sense of the information. When you read, the info enters through your eyes, when you listen to a story, the info enters through your ears. After that, the information is handled pretty similarly by the brain.

    Is it just me or do I feel like certain books I own have to be in paperback or hardcover form. Like The Thousandth Floor Trilogy seems like a "paperback series" to me and the Legend Trilogy feels more like a "hardcover series" to me... I usually read the first book in a series at the library, and buy the rest, based on whether I like them in paperback or hardcover. THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE, I'M JUST WEIRD. OKAY BYE.

      i think these are some of the main, controversial issues of TOG that make lots of people hate it tbh :
      ~ the big age gaps between couples like aelin and rowan
      ~ how posessiveness because of the mAtInG bOnD is always romantised. i feel like a tiny hint of posessiveness can be cute if it's done right (?) but sjm just takes it too far sometimes. (oh wait i misspelled **a lot of times* )
      ~ even though the concept and world is just amazing with mostly loveable characters, there's still lots of unrealistic things that happen in the book that would not happen in real life (obviously i'm not referring to the magic stuff. i'd say what i'm referring to here but i don't want to spoil KOA to you :D)
      ~ the at this point boring sjm cliché of the bad guys actually turning out to be good guys secretly in love with the main character/enemy to lover
      ~ the typical fae dudes who always just have to be hot, warrior brutes, are old as hell but are still allowed to be with young ass literal teen/young adult girls just because they're hot and still look young. you know what? even if they still look young but are ugly as heck instead of these bEaUtIfUl, perfect men (or males i guess) i'd bet more people would have a problem with it.
      i'd put more stuff but i can't be bothered to cause it's late where i live lmao. i honestly love TOG and most of its characters, and really like ACOTAR, but i'm honestly sick with the things i listed above and really REALLY hope SJM doesn't do her usual clichés in crescent city. i love her writing so much and having a main character by her whose love interest isn't described to be some posessive old and handsome fae warrior who's perfect in every way for once will just stEAL MY HEART.

But you can maybe look up what happens somewhere and see if the next book catches you more, if that makes sense.

    Harry Potter can be a frustrating character, but his son Albus is really annoying. Harry and Ron would be so dead without Hermione.

      I honestly loved Albus Potter as a character.
      A character of youth that absolutely embraces the reality of children nowadays. Constantly pressured and weighed upon by countless legacies they didn’t even ask for upon birth. Yeah, their actions are extremely irrational, but you can’t blame them if they spent their lives knowing they can’t live up to the expectations people constantly look at them for. A young mind that’s developing shouldn’t be faced with much hate or else they will totally snap, and Albus’s story showed that accurately. From bullying to school hierarchy and being a proclaimed loser to said ranking, it all sums up to why he behaves like that.
      In the end, Albus did mature though. He finally grows into a sensible personality and that’s what really makes him a great character. I can see why people dislike him, but if given much more insight, I think people can see what he is as a human being worth respecting.

    Due to the lack of motivation in reading hard copy books and studying, I’ve been really into wattpad as it suits the traveling efficiency and its overall great platform for reading other people’s works. Each book is a community of its own and that’s one of the biggest reasons why I love it.
    *note:* Since it’s a platform for people to write their own works for the public, some of them may be I guess.. unrefined. Though this doesn’t really bother me. This note, just adds on to the overall relaxed community where people are not too concerned of expectations. However, I can say that wattpad writers are there for a reason, and that it may be without a doubt to express their sense of creativity in literature to which they can be truly great authors in the platform. I like to think that they are the unsung heroes of authors waiting to be recognised for their talent and skill.
    Anyways, here are some wattpad recommendations that I personally loved and hope that you would too:
    - Two Gangs and a Golden Girl (first book of series) *unfinished series with the 3rd book but still growing strong with the 2 books* by Holly Shmit *(warning: Intense feelings are waiting to crush you)*
    - Agent 13 (first book of trilogy) by Quidam13
    - Once upon a royal one night stand by Aria May
    - The fourth protector (first book of series) by Bri Baker *(fantasy)*
    I do have a lot more books that I love but these books REALLY stuck with me.
    *OH and there are some specific stories that the reader would have to pay. This is a new concept for wattpad and only came recently. I am guessing that these stories are more refined but this may be a concern for those who came to wattpad for its free reading materials. Though this concept is crafted for authors to receive support from readers by earning money for their writing. I totally get this concept and I don’t heavily object but.. oh well.. however, don’t you worry little hunny rabbits, there are books where you don’t have to pay. There are just SOME books where you would have to pay in order to read.*

    ok so for the whole audiobook situation, the only problem I see is how people interpret the word "reading" . The word "read" means to look at and comprehend writing on a page or something. I do believe that listening does count as the same as taking in a story and comprehending it, it's still a book. Just the definition of reading gets people mixed up.

    Paper backs are easy to read because of the flimsy pages, but the hardcovers are perfect for displaying on a bookshelf.

    Everyone has their own opinion about books! 😍 My personal opinion is that Jesse should be in a book.
