I count them separately. I keep a list of read vs. listened too.
Yes, I consider audiobooks as books I read. but I track and note which is which.
Of course! Why is this even a question?
Yes. I put away all things and pay attention to the reading just as if I read it for myself, so yes I do count that as a book read.
yes definitely. sometimes i listen the audiobook while reading the ebook. i read faster that way. it may sound weird but i swear it works jajaja
I do! I don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t, imo the story is written to be shared not necessarily to be read off a page by your own eyes. Also, if we are talking about reading as a skill and therefore “audiobooks are not reading” then I’d like to propose the idea that listening and comprehension is just as important a skill as reading. Also, I simply do not have enough time to read all the books I want to in my lifetime, so I choose to listen to audiobooks too so I can “read” whenever I want ;))
i definitely count it! you're still engaging with the story. i used to kind of have my nose in the air about audiobooks but then i realized it's so great to not have to put my book down just because i'm about to cook or do my skincare routine. i can keep listening and diving in!
yes bc yr still taking in the same information, i don't usually listen to audiobooks bc i j don't like it, b i get it and its cool for ppl who do
Absolutely! I like to alternate between the two formats when I can find books I want on kindle that have the free audio. I can keep reading while I'm doing other things.
Absolutely. Some books I can’t read physically because… listen some covers aren’t for public eyes.

Or what about people who can't actually see at all and need to listen to audiobooks to read. so yea all these reasons and more :)
Yes- they often take longer to listen to that I would take reading them. They keep me sane while I do tedious work.
yes, blind people are not readers if they not read? audiobooks are books as well
Personally I don't. Mainly as I don't listen to new audio books as I feel like I might miss parts if I do something else at the same time. So it's always favourite books I've already read that I'll listen too so I don't have to give it my full attention... If that makes sense? But I understand why people count them as books they've read.
Most definitely! Usually, I am following along with the ebook or print copy. By the way, following along while listening to audio books increases your reading fluency.
I didn't when I first tried them but now I definitely do.
De , ce nu! Nu am facut-o, dar se poate sa vina și vremea aceea.
Of course. Sometimes that the only way I can get books read. You've still "consumed" the book, so why not?
Audiobooks are books just being read to you, so YES! It counts as reading a book
