In the past year we posted three articles on this subject to the CCF site:

One from parents' POV: "Are Audiobooks Cheating Our Children?" http://www.childrencomefirst.com/audiobooks.shtml

One from an educator's POV: Audiobooks: An educator's response http://www.childrencomefirst.com/audiobooks3.shtml

And one from neuroscientists' POV, a report by Carnegie Mellon scientists that was published in the journal Human Brain Mapping, "The Medium and the Message: Eyes and Ears Understand Differently" http://www.childrencomefirst.com/carnegiemellonstudy.shtml
