I zone out too much to listen to audio books, but I think some people do it just fine. I wonder if it's very different from listening to a podcast (which I also can't do).
Now I don't care if people call it reading or whatever, and plenty of people read books and retain zero information from it once they are done. Then again I am a bit confused by how insistent the audio books peeps are about calling it "reading" when, by definition, it isn't, like I once feel down a rabbit hole on tiktok of videos on the topic and some of these peeps will go to war to defend that. Perhaps because a lot of people look down on listening to audio books as not as good as reading books.
Different strokes for different folks, and at the end of the day it changes nothing for me if people call it "reading".
