[quote=Anonymous]This is just a debate about the definitions people have for "reading", really. I'm a big reader, and also love audiobooks, and there are pros and cons to each. Reading is a specific activity, distinct from listening, so I can see why people might say its not the same thing. It is, however, equally possible to understand a text that way. Reading is faster, but sometimes I comprehend better via audiobooks because you're forced to go slowly. OTOH, its also easier to zone out during an audiobook if some distraction pops up. Aesthetically, some stories seem to me better as an audiobook. It's also like someone reading you a story which can be soothing. Poetry is flat-out better read aloud, that's a major part of the form.
