I like this question. :)

I'm reading the book in two different ways! I have the full text online, and the audiobook!

If we think that reading the book online might change the medium, what does listening to it on audio do? Does that turn it intoa  performance, instead of a novel, even though it was written as a novel, and the text of the audiobook is the same as the text of the novel? Or is a performance of a novel?

One thing I will say...don't use the Alice audiobook. The narrator insists on doing voices, and they're terrible! Reading it online is better, and leaves much more to the imagination (thank goodness. My imagination does not produce such obnoxious voices for every character.)
