    I will die on this hill: listening is not reading. And I love listening to audio books when I have a long drive or something. ereader is what I use 99% of the time though.

        Reading:

        n 1: the cognitive process of understanding a written linguistic
           message; "his main reading was detective stories";
           "suggestions for further reading"

        I don’t think one is better than the other. Just listening is different than reading. It uses different parts of the brain.

          Is reading aloud by someone else still not reading?

          I would argue that you are still understanding a written message but the delivery medium is different.

          (Wired vs wireless analogy but data is the same)

          I can at least agree that audio dramas are different than reading.
