I can learn things by book, but I really have to focus. For instance, I checked out an Organic Chemistry book for dummies (something like that, lol) and I am learning, but I have to go over paragraphs a lot and it's nothing like hearing a human voice. Anyway, one big bonus to books is if they have "question your knowledge" questions with answers in the back. That really helps.

I have in the past learned things by book but will admit, that if I am given a video for instructions instead of a book, I do find that method easier to follow and understand.

Of course, a lot of books "read like Stereo Instructions". For instance, some material in math books was obviously written for very high IQ people with an advanced vocabulary.

Kind of depends on what I'm doing, but most of the time, I learn better from a video showing me what to do.
