have you just given away that you read aloud? ; - )
By the way. Reading is a good thing to do on shabbat, because you can read without breaking shabbat! It passes the time and reading can be time well spent. I have often printed things and read them over shabbat. That ebook has an option to download it. No prob starting reading now, but Yom Kippur is coming. You could read it over that too.. unless you want to stay in shul all the dozen+ hours!
I refer to reading on paper.. it's well worth printing it out. It can be difficult to read a screen anyway, for a whole book.

TY q-q When I read to myself- I forget a lot- I dont know why, I have to read something 5x- I had to study my brains out just to graduate from HS & in college- and that was just DRAMA class - haha -At times, I miss college, it was so much fun, like a carefree world, u know? It seems that things have gotten so evil and hateful- people have become so cold. If you smile at someone, they give u a dirty look. I better just follow Davids instruction to not talk to anyone, and this kills me, b/c I really AM nice to people in general. So- David says NO TALKING TO ANYONE ANYMORE. :'(

Listening to a voice the mind can switch off in between so you have to hear it a few times so that your mind is alert through the whole text! That's probably a short term memory thing.
But if you read it and think about it and if it's interesting then you think about it, then you'll remember it.
I must warn you though, rabbi antelman's 2 books are not a smooth read. One has to read it a few times.. It is a bit of a frustrating read.
Tamar Yonah interviewed him, but put off doing the interview because his books were so tricky to get one's head around!
