I enjoy reading. Some don't. That's perfectly legitimate but listening or watching isn't reading.
Reading braille is still reading even though the eyes are not involved. Audiobooks that are true to the book (not a performance) are also a form of reading. The blind have been using audiobooks for years, with volunteers reading them and describing the illustrations and samples etc onto tape.
