Hey fellow readers! I’ve been contemplating something and wanted to get your take on it. Do you think reading a book while listening to its audiobook still counts as “reading”? Personally, I find it more convenient, and it allows me to absorb the content in a different and easy way rather than just reading

I’ve noticed that I pick up on details and nuances I might have missed when solely reading. What are your thoughts on this? Do you feel it’s a valid way to experience a book, or do you think it’s a different kind of engagement? Share your experiences and opinions—I’m curious to hear the diverse perspectives of this community!

    You mean reading + audiobook together? Yeah, it’s called immersive reading and known to improve experience of reading. I do this sometimes too when I have both, especially when Im feeling down or just tired. It helps me focus on the reading and to really get into the story. Even better if it’s a full cast audio. I can’t do audiobook on it’s own because I have shit attention span but immersive reading works for me.
