Gosh, we can't allow "listening to a book" count as "reading" because we are vested in the myth that reading is a superior activity. Doesn't matter if you are reading vampire fantasy romance porn or the history of the Punic wars. Merely that you are READING.
I'm curious to know who has espoused the views that you're ascribing to MR denizens. Could you link to some examples of said views being expressed?
