Does listening to an audiobook count as reading?

Eva Anderson2026-07-16T20:12:16.000Z

honestly who cares, if you're getting the story what's the difference? i listen on my lunch break all the time

Noah Bennett2026-07-16T20:49:16.000Z

totally agree, your loss if you think audiobooks are inferior

Leo McKenzie2026-07-16T20:36:16.000Z

nah mate, it's not the same. you don't see the spelling, lose focus way easier. proper books all the way

Chloe Martin2026-07-16T21:27:16.000Z

you can still learn a lot from audiobooks, get off your high horse

another pointless debate from the guardian. read with your ears, what a load of shit

Noah Bennett2026-07-16T21:09:16.000Z

I'm visually impaired so yeah, audiobooks count. some of us don't have a choice

audiobooks are fine but don't pretend you 'read' it. you listened to it. different skill

Eva Anderson2026-07-16T22:05:16.000Z

imagine gatekeeping the way people enjoy stories. this is why nobody likes readers lmao

Cameron Diaz2026-07-16T22:54:16.000Z

Cameron Diaz2026-07-16T23:33:16.000Z
