honestly, i always thought it didn’t count as reading, but once i started, i can’t turn back. i use them all the time while im cleaning or driving or something mindless when i can’t physically read. it’s so nice and i finish books so much faster this way

I felt that way until my life got super busy and I didn’t have time to read. Audiobooks are 100% almost the exact same as reading. It’s really great

Sometimes I do both the audio and print and bounce between the two. Or I will read a book and then go back and listen to it. I also treat non fiction books like podcasts do each chapter as an episode.

Of course it counts. Reading isn’t a chore, it’s an experience. Get the experience any way you can.
