If think listening audio books is a significantly different experience than reading a book. The narrator’s voice always add interpretation to the text, no matter how neutral they try to be. A monotone voice change how you interpret a character shouting or distressed.

It might be a less intrusive interpretation of a written book than, e.g., a film adaptation. But it’s still very different from reading it.

Braille, I presume, it’s the same. Nothing interpreting the words except your own mind.
