I would assume listening to fiction and non-fiction activates the mind similarly to reading a book. Since people have had TV and comic books for a long time, I don't view alternate methods of story-telling as a threat to writers, even if it forces us to evolve our methods or change mediums. Since ancient times, people have found ways to tell tales.
I also know a lot of young people who still enjoy print books. They want hard covers with beautiful artwork they can display on their shelves and share with friends. Ideally, with a large fandom on Youtube, where they can watch other readers speculating about the characters and storylines, and can feel like part of a community centered around their favorite author or series.
