My blind friend says he "watches hockey" (as does my brother who is blind), They also use the program "jaws" to read their email etc. Helen Keller (profoundly deaf and blind) used to go to the theatre with Annie Sullivan and described the experience as "listening to a play". Now, technically, they aren't visually absorbing the content, but they are valid terms to describe what is being accomplished.
When I use audiobooks I usually say, "listened to", but I've hung out with folks with vision conditions enough that it doesn't phase me when they say "reading". I get the point they are trying to make.
