That's interesting. We're at slightly different places on the graph. Me anticipating and you responding.
I listen to audio and I read text. The first means imbibing and comprehending through the ears, and the second by the eyes. Afterward I'll consider the book read in both cases, but won't feel that I've read the audiobook. It is read as in the result but not as in the process.
