What exactly do you call "reading a book" ?
It depends. If a someone asks if I have read something, I will say yes (if I read the pbook or ebook), but I will say I have listened to it (if I have listened to the audio version).

If I am counting how many books I have read, then I will count both the audio and the book as books read.

I don't count either version as read, if I did not complete it. There have been very few that I have not completed. Like others, I just can't stand not finishing a book. I keep thinking it just has to get better.

I do a periodic re-read of the JD Robb "Eve Dallas" series, and I regularly skip the Eve-and-Roarke sex scenes in those.
Me too! I look for dialogue in those scenes and just want to get back to the story, especially in the "Death" series.
