I love audiobooks and consume them frequently but I personally don’t call it reading. It doesn’t feel like the same activity to me. What do you think?

    I’d agree that this is the case generally.

    Though I find myself (with certain audio) pausing it and arguing (out loud no less) with the presenter occasionally, then rewinding.

    I could do the same with a book I suppose, I just don’t.

    They are different, and I’d say reading provides a more solid retention of the info. But I do get to learn a lot more because I can listen when I run.
