This week I tried read-along on Youtube as a substitute to reading the Bible alone. Videos shown what was being read aloud. Big difference is following the pace of the reader and listening when you read. So it requires your full attention trying to get the major points, then after go back yourself skimming and noting what's important. Also later thinking more about it through the day. Very different then reading it partially and slowly for more thought then and there along with notes.
Above linked article mentions there's not much difference. Both require attention and memorization for processing what's said or read. Any major difference is irrelevant after late elementary (fifth grade) as the additional step of processing words becomes second nature.
Notice any differences personally, is it easier for you to read or listen?
