I already spend most of my day reading and writing documents so the idea of reading even more for fun just makes my eyes hurt. I love books but if I can enjoy them in a different format to let them rest then I’d be happy to do so. Audiobooks are a great experience when you’re out for an evening walk or staring at traffic for your commute.
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but listening to audio books isn’t reading.
It is a different sensory experience. It uses different parts of the brain and imagination too.
It is far closer to listening to a radio play.
I’m not saying it is any worse or better, just different.
I’m not sure that conflating the two is useful, particularly when talking about reading habits.

Yep. Cool. There’s a place for them, certainly.
Still don’t think that’s reading though.
