I personally don't think it's the same.
No. I had no idea how important punctuation and paragraph placement is until I tried an audiobook.

I work the night shift at work so I am allowed to use my earbuds. I'll use audible for most of the time and while it does diminish the experience, it is VERY useful in my situation.
It also strongly relies on the Narrator him/herself. If the person reading to me is the fullest human being on earth, I won't be able to listen to it. I recommend anything read by R.C Bray

I think he means that experiencing books in the auditory form appalls him due to the simple fact that the idiosyncrasies of the prose is lost, which includes punctuation and paragraph placement.
