I love audiobooks and consume them frequently but I personally don’t call it reading. It doesn’t feel like the same activity to me. What do you think?

    When people say audio books aren’t reading, they mean one of two things: that it’s not literally reading words, which is true, or that it’s not “proper reading like I do”, which is gatekeepey and elitist and awkward. There’s a ton of individual differences in how you understand/retain information and which media are better for you.
