I'm kinda with SensualPoet here. Listening to an ebook is fine and dandy, and I have no problem if you do that (I do it as well from time to time), but it isn't the same as reading. Its just like, if I go see Hamlet performed, I don't claim to have read Hamlet (although for the record, I have actually read Hamlet). Reading is visual, listening is audible.
As far as being "frightened", I think they were just trying to point out the larger than expected amount. It really would have been no different in meaning if they'd said "surprising" or shocking". Would you still have started the debate if one of those words had been used instead?
