    1. I don’t care if anyone thinks I read the book or not – there is no prize for reaching my yearly goal. I consider it reading because I still took in the information.

    2. First-Tea-4172 on

      From some of the light research I have done, comprehension levels don’t decrease print vs audio. I’ve finished 32 audiobooks this year and I consider it reading, but I am biased.

    3. Yes and yes. Do you think blind people don’t “read” by using braille? Why does using the sense of sight count but other senses, including hearing doesn’t? Audiobooks definitely count as reading.

    4. I’m an author, an editor, an audiobook narrator, a reader and an audiobook listener.

      Of course it’s reading. It’s ridiculous imaginary elitism to think otherwise. It’s also ableist. You want to tell a blind person who listens to audiobooks instead of reading them in Braille that they’re not readers?

      It’s a ridiculous hill to die on, and they are dying on it. It’s simultaneously ignorant and trivial for someone who wants to seem intelligent.
