As far as I'm concerned, there's no real difference in whether a person listened to an audiobook or read a printed codex, so I don't have an issue with someone saying that they "read" a book when they listened to the audiobook.
At the same time, I can't follow the thought that listening is reading. To me it's like saying swimming is bicycling. It's not that one is better than the other; it's that they are completely different activities.
