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!
Listen, if you didn’t visually see words printed in a Real Paper Book, you didn’t even experience the story. E-readers, tablets, computers, phones, digital audiobooks, books on tape, books on CD, your mom reading a book to you out loud, hell even braille, are all subpar means through which you might not even be able to realize there was a story happening.
Only light reflected off of literal ink perceived by your eyes while holding a stack of bound paper can be called Reading. Otherwise it’s just sparkling literacy.
