Here's an unpopular opinion
Listening to an audiobook is not reading. There's nothing wrong with it — it's a perfect legitimate experience. But it isn't reading.

I struggle to read. I have a tendency to read a line, and not being able to follow on to the next line. So I have to read the sentence again. Then my mind wonder and thinks about something else, then I have to pull myself away from theat thought to start reading again. I can sit on a page for maybe 10 mins or more before I can move on.
Audio books at least I can pause and rewind if my mind wonders. And it's like having a friend talk to me.

@Mellowgirl Nothing wrong with that. The purpose of audiobooks to allow people to access content however works best for them. But it is a different experience from reading.
