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!

    I think this would drive me insane. There’s no way I wouldn’t skip ahead.

    I love audio books but I can’t just sit down and listen to them. Audio books, for me, are for when I’m driving or maybe cooking. I need to be doing something but also doing something that doesn’t take a lot of brain power.

    I don’t know I would say this doesn’t “count as reading”
