I'm another for whom listening isn't reading. I can certainly understand people saying they "read" the book when they listened to the audiobook, but for me it's a totally different experience.
I can't equate reading and listening for myself because I don't process them the same way. As for "immersion reading," it would drive me absolutely nuts; it's two different data rates and I'd be waiting for the narrator to catch up to my eyes.
For myself I don't like using the same word for two very different experiences. Others may feel differently, but for me the differences are too great. I'd feel like I was lying if I said I read something I'd listened to. My experience, understanding, and retention are too different to do that.
