Let me know y'all's opinions on this topic.
At this point, I'm kind of in the middle ground, understanding both sides

Samantha (matching w Tessie) | 1 comments I definitely think that audiobooks count as reading! 😊 I’ve seen some studies that your brain processes audiobooks in the same way as physically reading a book. Also, audiobooks sometimes require even more concentration than reading (at least for me)

Elena Belle | 1 comments I personally think that they do! You’re gaining pretty much the same you would from reading the book tangibly and your brain is still processing the information.

Guinevere  | 1 comments I think it does ☺️. You experienced the book: its story, ideas, characters, language, structure and emotional impact. Just in a different format.
