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!
Absolutely. I do this almost exclusively. I crank the audio speed up to 2.5, sometimes 3 and then it’s more on par with my actual reading speed. But it helps me focus more and not have my thoughts wonder as much since I’m using my ears and eyes to absorb the story.
