@brook_in_bookland: I have a long commute to work and audiobooks are the only way I survive. @Libby App legit saved me. And yes, I’ve done some podcasts and those are fine. But sometimes i don’t want to listen to the radio or to music and audiobooks feel like less of a waste of time for ME while im driving. And sure, they may feel different, and you can’t look at the commas, but overall, it’s still reading!! I’ve had many conversations with people (many of whom don’t even read at all anyway) saying they don’t count. If i can discuss the book and know the characters AND if the science says so, then it counts to me 🙃 #bookishthoughts #audiobooks #booktokfyp #ihaveonedaughter #science #brains #readingbooks #debate

Yes, for adult comprehension BUT not for children who are learning to read.

To each their own! I’ve def done audio books I just struggle with the voices. We are def consuming the same story but it isn’t “reading”.

I mean when I read a book I read the words aloud in my head… what’s the difference if it’s my voice or another 🤷🏻‍♀️

I get this all the time! I listen to 2-3 audiobooks a week and people always say I’m not “reading” them. We both know the same plot and ending, right? 😂

There’s something ironic to me about you pointing to AI overviews as your source 😂
