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 do it when I can. I don’t read much faster than if I were to speak the words myself. It helps me keep focused.
Audiobooks by themselves are still “reading a book” for the purpose of this argument. So yeah, immersive reading still counts as reading.
There’s no way to “cheat” reading a book, nor is there a right or wrong or better or more or less valid way.
