Blinkist and skimming a book have their place for getting some of the key points, it's hard to find the time to read all useful books.

But I agree that to really get the most out of a book, reading cover to cover is likely most immersive, impactful, maybe followed by listening to the auduibook from start to finish.

I think this is another wrong idea. You can never read all useful books. The whole idea of "all" useful books is faulty. You should read a book you really like and immerse yourself in it. The only time I think it's close to what you are suggesting is if you're prepping for a test.
