Yep, I have to physically read books if I want to ingest any information from them.

I used to retain things that I read very well.

Now I'm prone to tuning out the stream of text the same way I (and presumably brightball) tune out the stream of speech from an audiobook. If I want to be sure not to miss something, I need to read aloud. :(
